AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Zach Johnson has the benefit of twin major boosts going into this week's Masters, the knowledge that he won here in 2007 after holding off Tiger Woods and the added bonus of victory at last year's British Open.

As he prepares to compete in his 12th Masters, the American says he always feels inspired when he steps onto the lush fairways at Augusta National but this week he has an extra lift as he brought along the British Open's prized Claret Jug.
