AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Twice champion Bernhard Langer believes that up to 40 players are genuine contenders for this week's Masters, with another 30 quite capable of winning the year's opening major championship.

An elite field of 89 has assembled at Augusta National for the tournament's 80th edition, which started on Thursday, and Germany's Langer loves the fact that virtually all of the world's top 10 have displayed excellent form in recent months.
