It's called the Masters... not the US Masters

Same as the Open Championship is not called the British Open

Yeah, it's at The Masters where the gallery mobs watch to see the body bags collect behind the bikini waxed greens.

It will be between one of the big sluggers from what I hear. Mickelson, Else, Tiger, or Vijay, apparently they are among the only players long enough and good enough to have a prayer at the redesigned Augusta.

With that aside, I will be keeping an eye on Jim Furyk, h'e been right there among the leaders at every tournament I've watched this season, when he gets hot, he's going to win one, it may as well be The Masters. It would of course be cool if Fred Couples or John Daly decided to do what we all know they are capable of, I love watching those two play.

Oh heck, enogh dreaming, Tiger's gonna win it, he always does.

Your dreams seem to produce success...

I continue to wonder if Sergio has what it takes...I think he does but he hasn't produced one yet.

I think he would be wildly popular champion...

He is only 26, though - has plenty of time yet.

The Masters being on tele was always a tradition for me to get absolutely mashed in the comfort of my own home. Really can't wait for this year's again

Ain't got a clue who is going to win. I think it is better to wait until after the 2nd day's play, although it is difficult to look past the Tiger once again
As much as I worship the Tiger, it would be nice to see someone else shine through and claim victory. Preferably not a bloomin' Yank, right enough !!

When are we going to see another Euro win there? Between the late 80's to mid-90's, the Yanks could hardly buy a green jacket...Faldo, Woosy, Langer, Olazabel, Lyle...now it seems the opposite...

Is there some reason the Euros can win there now??

The problem with Sergio is you never know when his putting is going to get the best of him....At the Masters, as we all know putting is a must....

Portstewart have been paired with North West (his home club) in the Barton Shield this year, so it is a high possibility that we could come face-to-face.....

Olazabal is still my pick. He plays well there, he has proven he has no problem keeping up since they lengthened the course, and he seems to be playing well enough as of recent.

At least you can get "mashed" at 9:00pm. I have to wake up at 8:00am, forego my coffee for a Guiness, and settle in early for your Open Championship.

You make that sound like it's a problem?

Yeah, 8am is a perfect time to begin an "all-dayer...."
