Henrik Stenson is hoping an impressive CA World Championship performance will stand him in good stead for the Masters in two weeks' time.

The 30-year-old heads to the Miami event looking to build on his Accenture World Match Play success in Tucson last month and already has one eye on the Augusta showpiece.

The Swede remains something of an unknown quantity in the United States but is keen to put a marker down and catch the eye of Ryder Cup captain, Nick Faldo, who works as a TV commentator over there and has already spoken of his interest in Stenson.
"It's always going to be expectations from all different directions," said Stenson. "I think as a player we always put the highest pressure on ourselves to perform.

"I don't think it's going to make any big difference. I try and stick to my own things and I know where I want to be and how well I want to play and that's all I can focus on.

"But if Nick says that it's still flattering that he thinks highly of my game."

Stenson can be backed at 7 - along with Sergio Garcia and Padraig Harrington - to finish as the top European at the CA World Championships, with the Swede is also trading at 36 to win the event. Tiger Woods is the 3.5 favourite to triumph in Miami.
Woods tops the betting on 2.82 to win the US Masters, with defending champion Phil Mickelson available at 10 and Stenson trading at 34.
