This week's Masters includes a formidable group of left-handers in the field — eight to be exact. Akshay Bhatia, Brian Harman, Joe Highsmith, Robert MacIntyre, Matt McCarty, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and Mike Weir represent the most lefties (eight) in a single Masters, topping the previous high of six in 2018. This list also includes three champions — Mickelson, Watson and Weir.
