We continue our build up to Augusta by counting down the top 10 all time Masters legends. Today, it's the late, great Seve Ballesteros.
Augusta was taken by storm in 1980 when Seve Ballesteros arrived with his Arnold Palmer-like blend of character and supreme shot-making of the highest quality.
The immensely-popular Spaniard was 33rd on his Masters debut in 1977 and then recorded two top-20 finishes before pitching up a year later as the Open Championship holder.
The 23-year-old opened with a scintillating 66 and he completed a wire-to-wire victory by a four-shot margin to become the then youngest champion while also setting a new birdie record with 23.
He cruised to a second title three years later, opening his final round birdie-eagle-birdie as he clinched another four-shot win on the first Monday finish in 10 years.
Seve missed the cut in 1984, but he finished no lower than 11th over the next five years and could have added a third title in 1986, only for a couple of late errors which opened the door for Jack Nicklaus.
His performances, and his exciting brand of play, inspired a new generation of European challengers including two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal.
It is a tragedy that he will never grace the Augusta fairways again after losing his battle with brain cancer in 2011, but his contribution to Masters history will live on.
