The stormy weather that interrupted Masters practice on Monday and Tuesday is expected to abate until late on Sunday afternoon, and bookmakers continue to report money pouring in for a number of last year's European Ryder Cup heroes to grab Green Jacket glory in Georgia this week.

Rory McIlroy, the 8-1 Augusta market leader, 22-1 Francesco Molinari and 30-1 Tommy Fleetwood have been particularly popular with punters.

New world number one Justin Rose, twice a runner-up in the first Major of the season, Jon Rahm, Paul Casey and 2017 champion Sergio Garcia have had plenty of supporters too.

Dustin Johnson leads the home players in the outright market at 12-1, with Tiger Woods and last year's runner-up Rickie Fowler at 20-1, Justin Thomas at 22-1 and Jordan Spieth at 25-1. The current holder of the Green Jacket, Patrick Reed is a 55-1 shot.

Hideki Matsuyama is the shortest-priced of the rest-of-the-world stars at 33-1. However, South African Louis Oosthuizen is being backed across the board at 40-1.
