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

Well, it's that time of year again for my favourite Golf Tournament.

Tiger once again the favourite, and whilst he can't be rules out, he offers no value for me.

Charl Swartzel's a man in form, as well as Matt Kuchar.

I'll have a cheeky couple of quid e/w as always on Boom Boom Fred Couples.

Mike Weir and Steve Flesch always go well at Augusta at big odds.

What's everyone's feelings? Anyone else looking forward to it?

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.

Re: US Masters Golf : Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:28 pm  

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.

Looking good value. Ominous enough.

Re: US Masters Golf : Fri Apr 09, 2010 9:31 am  

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.
