Butch Harmon relishes a high-class leaderboard for the final round of the Masters and assesses Sergio Garcia's hopes of claiming a long-awaited maiden major victory at Augusta.

We're in for one of the best closing Sunday's we've ever had at Augusta. There are so many guys who can win this and so many different scenarios you could bet on.

I think he knows what he has to do to win tomorrow. This guy is due to win a major.

If you were going to bet some money on who to win then it would be hard to pick one guy, cause there so many in with a chance. I can't wait for Sunday to get here.

I think Sergio Garcia has matured tremendously, as you can look back at his career and find places where he had lost his head.

I think he knows what he has to do to win tomorrow. I like that the fact that he knew he didn't have his good stuff on Saturday. Every now and then you find something that gets you around and you go to the range in the morning and you work on it.

This guy is due to win a major. It's going to happen, but is tomorrow going to be the day? He has a great chance.

Justin Rose has always been a great ball striker, he always gives himself a lot of opportunity and like Sergio he's not the best putter in the world.

It's going to be interesting when they're together tomorrow on the back nine going for Masters victory. In the past we've seen them both miss a lot of those little putts, so can they handle the pressure of making those tomorrow?

When you look down that leaderboard, everybody had forgotten about Adam Scott and he's a former Masters champions. Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth are really close and I think they will both pull each other along.

Lee Westwood and Paul Casey are still in the mix, and anybody within six or seven shots has a chance.
