It would be retarted not to bet on Mahan having a killer week. Wouldn't be surprised with a top-10 finish or even an outright win.
Might be a trendy pick but with Tiger's win a couple weeks ago, he might just be able to get confident enough with his swing to make a run at another jacket.
Darkhorse could be Bubba Watson if he hits it straight. Dufner has been hitting the ball well lately and might shoot low.
It's gonna be a great tournament this year. Still think they should gave Els the exemption weeks ago.
Keegan or Rory. Ya Big Easy should be there fore sure.
i like keegan's fight. he's not afraid. he and tiger in the final pair would be interesting. rory seems a little more mental, for lack of a better word -- which isn't always a good thing in the heat of battle.
honestly, i'd love to see tiger stomp the shit out of everybody.
Love Rory,
That being said I'll throw a Bubba and an oddball Westwood in there for good measure.
Greatest golf weekend of the year!
It always great to see someone nobody expects to win like Sergio Garcia..... maybe, perhaps... fat chance ?
No one mention Phil yet?
Justin Rose has a great record there and is playing really well right now as well.
Tiger ALWAYS plays well even when he sucks so he'll be in contention. I think Rory has a good week. I hope Cink plays well.
kyle stanley from washington ftw
Heard interviews from both Tiger and Phil today. They say the course is soft from rain and pretty easy (comparatively). They are expecting low scores and phil said you would not need a lot of experience with the greens and an aggressive guy, even a newbie, could post low scores
Besides Woods, Phil, Rory, KJ Choi plays that course well as does Snedeker.
Rooting for Keegan. He played on my high school team, so now I can say I'm a state champion when I'm 10 over after 9 holes.
I am in for the Tiger.
Masters is not friendly for those making their 1st appearance, but did you hear Keegan Bradley's press conference? He said something like, "I've never lost in a major". Pretty funny. 1 major appearance and one major win.Quote:

Tom does not have the length required at Augusta to compete, they fucked up the course in places. Even short knocker (former winner) Zach Johnson is longer than Tom Watson.
If Rory and Tiger get to do battle, it will be one for the ages.
Come on FIGJAM, get your shit together pods.
careful, this is one area dasC might be wise...;)
Phil?
This is what I've been thinking. Tiger's game stunk the last two years and he took 4th. I'm feeling good for him. And Phil. Don't feel Rory having a good week.Quote:

I love the Masters.
A good buddy's wife once made out with Donald at a college party, I never get tired of busting his balls for that, and "Hey, it's Masters champion Luke Donald! Didn't your wife hook up with that guy?" has a great ring to it. So, yeah, picking Donald, although I would love to see Woods win (in no small part because I'm tired of the Tiger Comeback narrative).
Since we are sharing stories, my buddy smoked a J with Zach Johnson and Jonathan Bryd. Thought it an odd group, but whatever.
If Tiger wins, 4matic is gonna need more then one bottle of Jergens.

Just watched the Chairman's press conference and really? More questions about women being granted membership? Get over it, it's a private club. They can make membership available to three toed sloths only if they cared to.
What a joke at trying to manufacture a non-story every single year.
If Martha Burk would just STFU, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't invite the IBM CEO. But they are damn sure not going to let it appear they are caving into the angry lesbian...
yeah, thank god tiger was too good to keep out.
Reilly has a hard on for tigerQuote:

LOTS of red numbers tomorrow with this thing being so soft....at least that's my guess.
Freddie is 2nd in overall putting this year on the Champions Tour. Lead the field when he won in Mississippi a few weeks ago. Putting isn't his problem. If he drives the ball straight this week, he'll have a shot.Quote:

I thought both those guys were really into JC. Maybe they're part of the "What would Jesus do? Blaze!" crowd.Quote:

Heck, I'd throw money in the kitty to support such efforts.Quote:

But clearly they are a bunch of spineless wimps.
Your first sentence is absolutely false. Why should we entertain the rest of your rant? I will entertain you, pay attention, you might learn something.Quote:

Men, and women, play there. Men like to play in groups of 1, 2, 3, or 4 (sometimes 5). Men like to play golf with other men. When women are present, golf is just a small bit different for men. Not a huge thing, and men play golf with women often, but think of it like Tennis; mixed doubles have a very different vibe than doubles.
Betting/gambling and drinking are a big part of men playing with men. If you had any fucking clue, you would know Men often do not like to do those things in front of women.
Augusta's roots are of a mens club, where the men would go and play, while families would play elsewhere.
No one would ever turn down a chance to play at Augusta, well, no one who actually plays golf.
Someday Augusta will change, but for the next 20 years, no, they are just less "progressive", than you and move a bit slower. Relax a little, money and sponsorship dollars are not that important. They could care less FYI, about money. They are already more than rich.
so funny. spitting outrage leading to getting the patrol fired for next to nothing, then tell people to chill about historical racism and misogyny. you are my moral compass.Quote:
