I think Woods WILL win it but I would have a few quid on Ernie Els, Steve Stricker or Jim Furyk if I had a few quid that is

.

Would love to see the likes of Poulter, Casey(if he plays) and Westwood do well and Young McIlroy too the kid is awesome.

And Ernie Els.





Might put some cash on Paul Casey. If a home player can do something, I might be him.



As always! Really enjoy the masters tournament, and going to try and watch as much of it as I possibly can. More than likely will be online since the wench will no doubt be hogging the TV watching bloody Ghosthunters.

Am not even that confident about Woods just can't leave him unbacked at them prices its just a case of is it too soon.

Its just a shame they have to have Gary lineker as the host I cant stand the boring 2@, and what he knows about golf can be written on the back of a stamp.

I think they should replace him with his wife

Harrington 25/1
Stricker 30/1
Karlsson 125/1
Allenby 80/1

I would have a few bob on this guy if I was a betting man

David Duval ew @ 250/1 and 20/1 a top 10 finish

Everyone seems to be backing Stricker, which tells me that he has no chance



Backed Goosen, Furyk and Poulter myself, only novelty bets for interest though.

I'm at work so am banned for any betting sites.....can anyone tel me the price i could get on Tiger missing the cut?

1.28

Anyone got prices for Casey & Stenson? Can't access online as at work.

currently on Betfair, Casey is around 25/1 and Stenson 85/1

Cheers

. I'll be taking some of that 85/1 on offer for Stenson. 2 top 20 finishes in the last 3 years at Augusta and last season he had 3 top 15 finshes in the majors, pretty decent record.

Really struggling with his driver at the moment Stenson. You won't find a more unfporgiving course than Augusta if you're not hitting fairways.

Nice to see Tom Watson doing well, hes one of my favourite ever golfers and the guy is a legend



Cant believe how good Mickelson is doing either after his recent performances

Cracking start for Furyk

Ended up doing the above in bits and pieces.

Swartzel e/w @ 50/1
Kuchar e/w @ 66/1
Weir e/w @ 80/1
Couples e/w @ 100/1
Flesch e/w @ 250/1

Flesch not going so well, but the others trundling along fairly nicely.

Stenson having a bit of a mare so far.

Am I imagining things or is Peter Alliss being very bitchy towards Tiger? He just pitched the ball 6 inches from the hole and it spun back 6 ft and he said he should have controlled it better and now he has a 6ft putt! Matt Kutchar put it over the back and he was warmer about him!

Also that wonder shot he played on the 9th. He said it was a pretty simple shot at the end of the day. Im betting the majority of the field wouldnt have got as close as that.

Go on Freddy my son !!!

Long way to go yet though

Looking good value. Ominous enough.

Very ominous.

He is beautifully positioned after round 1 at -4.

Certainly Freddy's back ain't gonna hold out for 4 rounds...which is a shame. One of my favs.

Great to see Sandy Lyle on the list, Langer etc.

As I was saying to someone today, this is the real reason for the success of the Masters (outside of the course): if you hadn't watched golf for 20 years, you could look at that top 30 players and still know at least half a dozen!

Thanks for the heads up, only caught 1 snip of him last night and he had a putt to break 80

......... that's my kind of round!



Needless to say my cash stayed in my pocket.

Contrary to my beliefs I decided to take the advice of my Scouse

friend above and kept my cash in my pocket. Will be adding it to my GN fund this weekend
