Dustin Johnson has admitted form alone will not be enough to continue his winning run and deliver a second major title at the Masters.
The world No 1 heads to Augusta National off the back of three consecutive victories, following wins at the Genesis Open and WGC-Mexico Championship with another success at last month's WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.
Johnson has finished inside the top six in his past two Masters appearances and starts the week as the bookies favourite, but believes he will have to be at his best to have any chance of winning a Green Jacket.
"It doesn't matter how good you're playing, you can still not win," Johnson told a pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday. "The same goes for this week.
"If I want to win here, everything's going to have to go well for me. I'm going to have to drive it well, hit my irons well and putt it well. Everything is going to have to be really good.
"I've got a lot of confidence in my game right now, especially with the way I've been playing the last few tournaments. But, you know, anything can happen."
Johnson tees off alongside two-time champion Bubba Watson and Jimmy Walker in the final group on Thursday, while three-time Green Jacket winner Phil Mickelson begins his week in a threeball with Rafa Cabrera Bello and Si Woo Kim.
The 46-year-old makes his 25th appearance in the opening major of the year this week, where victory would see him replace Jack Nicklaus as the oldest Masters champion.
"I think over the last year and a half, I've worked really hard to get my game back to the level that I expect and the level that I've strived for," Mickelson said.
"If I can play anywhere close to the way I played at The Open last year and the Ryder Cup, I should be able to give myself a good opportunity for Sunday."
