Ian Poulter backs defending champion Bubba Watson to challenge for a third victory at the Masters.
World No. 1 Rory McIlroy heads into the first major of the year as the favorite, looking to complete a career grand slam after winning the British Open and PGA Championship last year.
But Watston knows how to attack Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. He won by three strokes in 2014 after emerging victorious in a playoff in 2012.
Speaking with Europe's Sky Sports, Poulter said: "When you hit it 340 yards and a slight cut off every tee, I'd like to play that golf course as my course to play.
"[Watson] is the favourite. It just sets up to his game, so you'd expect to see him on the board come Sunday. Through the years long hitters have already done very well on that golf course, but especially left-handers.
"Phil [Mickelson] and Bubba are both long-hitting left-handers, so that golf course lends itself to hitting the cup, and for right-handers it lends to hitting a draw. There's a number of key things that the golf course lends itself to, so it's a case of practicing certain shots."
McIlroy will try to become the sixth man to win all four majors.
"We obviously knew years ago when he burst on the scene at The Open Championship and had that incredible run that this kid was going to be good," Poulter said.
"But obviously we didn't know how good and he's proving to be the number one player in the world right now and deservedly so.
"It happens in golf every decade or every couple of decades and Rory's one of the kids that has the natural talents. He is impressive to watch and when he's on form, he's as good as anyone has ever been."
