By now, folks know all about the big names at the 2015 Masters.

Jordan Spieth wowed the globe, breaking loads of records in the process and perhaps ushering in a new era. Tiger Woods managed to play Sunday. Phil Mickelson put on his best challenge in years.

What about the lesser-known names? Those players young and old who can use the launching pad at Augusta as a means to contention further down the road?

Let's take a look at some underrated names to monitor moving forward after notable performances this past weekend.

Instead of focusing on the 38-year-old's epic run, he fell behind in the recognition department thanks to Spieth's historic outing.

Peter Alliss put a humorous twist on Hoffman's status:



Granted, Hoffman imploded with a 71 Saturday and a 74 Sunday, but he still finished tied for ninth 10 strokes off the lead.

For a guy who hasn't played in the tournament in each of the past three seasons, it's a great sign. The California native may have faded down the stretch, but such a thing happens when attempting to be more aggressive to catch up to a history-making 21-year-old.

It's hard to imagine Hoffman's strong form doesn't carry over to the rest of the season. If able to play in such a strong manner at the touch-based Augusta, he'll find more success and make a few surprise top-five finishes.
