Who will win the Masters?

Who is your pick to win the Masters?

I am picking Tiger followed by Phil and Charles Howell III.

By the way, for those who are stuck at work here is a link to live coverage from Amen Corner starting at 10:30 today and tomorrow. I will definitely be watching it.

Woods should win handily...the rest is a crapshoot.

Even though I picked Michelson in our contest, I am still not certain if he has mentally recovered from his dabacle last summer. He may be a strong contender or an oaf...

Something tells me one of the young guns from outside the U.S. is finally going to step up and contend.

One thing you can say for this tourney, it is unusual for someone in their 20's to win it. Tiger is (was) the notable exception, starting with his first win in 97....it seems that course knowledge and experience is at a premium in this event and it takes 5-6 tournaments for most players to get some degree of comfort...

Weir obviously has comfort here but the lengthening of the course has hurt him. Lengthening gave big hitters an additional advantage...

Let's see how the Bomb and Gouge Crew does.

Its going to be a Tiger vs. The Field bet in every major until he goes through another swing change.

The dry conditions will help the shorter guys out. I still say a bomber wins it tho.

My pick is the same as every year. Mr Singh.

As always, the best putter will win. But he also needs a shit load of luck, a lot of patience and balls of steel.

I fancy Hefty to put up a good defence. When he gets going with that flat stick, boy, he is good.

I think the dry conditions are indeed going to contribute to more roll...but it is going to be so cold in those early morning rounds that they are going to lose some distance due to this...

Lows around freezing on Friday and Saturday mornings. (We may even have a frost delay!) ...these guys will play the front nine with temps in the 40F/5-7C range...

Will be very interesting to see how the cold, dry temps affect the entire tourney.

The premium on putting will be at its highest and on approach shot accuracy as well...

Tiges or Phil Mich., me thinks.

Hope Big Ernest does well with his/my new Callaways

Angel Cabrera for E/W bet.

Load of guys are talking about Stenson E/W, but I ain't so sure...

I've had £5 each way on all 5, CHIII at 50/1, Phil at 8/1, els at 16/1, Stenson at 25/1 & Casey at 33/1.

Looks like Ernie and Phil will have there work cut out to make the top 5 already. Stenson & Casey are the best European bets, imo.

Charles Howell III has to be a great shout & I couldn't belive he was 50/1, he's been in the form of his life this season, up there week in week out. He's from Augusta so probably staying in his own home between rounds. He's played the course many times and I'd imagine he's gonna have great support round that track.
