Olazabal makes Madrid comeback
DOUBLE Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal will make a third career comeback from injury and illness when he plays in this week's Madrid Masters.
The 42-year-old Augusta winner of 1994 and 1999 hopes his woes are behind him at last after 14 months racked with pain and fatigue relating to rheumatism.
The Spaniard plays his first event for over three months having acted as Nick Faldo's vice-captain in Europe's Ryder Cup defeat by the United States at Valhalla.
"I don't have any great expectations. My first target is to see if I can make the cut," said Olazabal.
While interest surrounds Olazabal, Martin Kaymer, Angel Cabrera, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano are realistic potential winners of the tournament which starts tomorrow at Club de Campo.
