2017 The Masters
- Thread starter Catfan in Tn.
- Start date
Think this year will be won by a top 5 player. I am going to pick Hideki to win it, but very likely will be either Dustin or Rory. Both are elite of the elite and are playing well.
I'm not a fan of tinkering with stuff right ahead of a major. He probably will win now that ive said that but...

Last year he changed to a left hand low putting in March before the Masters. I do not mind changes but id like a few months at minimum before a major to get used to those changes. Certainly in my mind makes it more difficult to win.
Yeah, hes off a bit now, but i picked him a month ago and he plays pretty good around that place, so i will stick with him.
He has only broken 70 once in his last 8 rounds there. I guess that's pretty good.
Well, I don't about the $25, but I am serious. He finished T7 at Augusta last year and impressively won in Dubai. He won the U.S. Am in 2013 so he has some pedigree. I like his pairing with Spieth and Kaymer on Thursday and Friday as well.
The latest "Next Jack"! He certainly has the game. Can draw or cut and is putting very well. However, there has only but one first time participant win since 1935 (Fuzzy Zoeller). I would love to see the Spaniard in contention on the back nine Sunday.
Yep. I like them in the order they're played. Master favorite. PGA least favorite.
The young man certainly has a bright future. I think he'll earn a really nice pay check this weekend.
I'm not changing my pick from a month ago, unlike your bandwagon *** who is from Lexington, grew up in Lexington and changed fandoms. Lol,you are a joke.
Hideki hits the ball as well as any player on earth, but his putting is really weak.
Don't like his chances on the Augusta National greens.
That's because he hits it closer than anyone.
His putting is the reason he finished only 5th and 7th.
The new PGA Comissioner wants The Players to go back to be played in March and the PGA to move to May.
$1000
That said, played Sage Valley which is just down the road from Augusta in SC. Owner could not get into Augusta so he built his own course mimicking Augusta and took a bunch of their caddies in the process.
I have a friend who's played Augusta. His dad was general manager of the Kia plant in Georgia, and was active within corporate circles. I'm guessing that's how he got on there. I offered him $3,000 if he could somehow get me on. So, I guess $3,000.
Tiger murdered the Par 5's there. I saw a stat on that a couple of days ago but I forget the exact stat.
