American golf star Phil Mickelson has reportedly been tipped by bookmakers to win the 78th US Masters at the Augusta National.

The 2013 Open Championship winner, who has been victorious on three occasions to date- 2004, 2006 and 2010, will enter this week's tournament armed with the knowledge that being able to rely on memory recall down the stretch could be helpful given the large amount of first-timers.

According to Sport24, Mickelson is chasing Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods to become the third player ever with four Masters titles, tied for second behind Jack Nicklaus.

The defending champion at the event this year is Australian Adam Scott.
