Spieth is a pretty good pick but Jon Rahm, or Justin Thomas would be my top two choices off the top of my head

Not Rory, playing like "ish" right now (which means he will probably get it done)

You get first pick in the draft, who ya taking. JT? Safe pick right now. Love DJ but don't know where his head or his game are at.

They have a Masters app as well. Haven’t tried it but might be worth downloading and giving it a try.

Just for fun, looked up fluke winners of major tournaments

Danny Willett, only PGA win was Masters when Speith made a quad on no. 12
Michael Campbell, only PGA win was US Open over Tiger
Trevor Immelmann, only two PGA wins, but one was Masters over Tiger
YE Yang, only two PGA wins, but one was PGA over Tiger (first time Tiger lost a major lead on Sunday)
Andy North, only three PGA wins, but two were US Opens

There must be some others, but could not think of any

BTW, The Masters is my favorite sporting event to watch because of '96 when Nick Faldo ran down my favorite golfer of all time, Greg Norman. That was riveting to see. Greg was such a Shakespearean tragedy out there on the course. it was crushing and magnificent.

From Telegraph article with Westwood.


Because Lee Westwood has already played a few practice rounds here this year and was stunned by the “firmest and fastest conditions I ever have encountered at Augusta”, and, with no rain forecast, the green jackets’ arduous stage has been set. “Put it this way,” Westwood told me on Thursday. “I don’t think they want 20 under to win.”

Willett had been playing well leading up to Augusta, inc. a big Euro win, and a 3rd at the WGC.

The others are definite WTF's.

Daly's PGA at that time is #1......9th alternate.

It’s the legions of Arnie’s Army
And the Golden Bear’s throng
The wooden-shafted legend of Bobby Jones

^^^Did you really expect them to serve cocktail smokies out of a crockpot? You probably did.

IMO, the bigger upset for Daly was winning the British Open, IIRC, he was playing like "ish", had already had a lot of personal troubles, etc., and came back from the dead to win in a playoff, I think, over Constantin Rocca?

Coffee and a chicken biscuit when I walk in.

1 egg salad, chips and a couple domestics for lunch

BBQ and peanuts 🥜 for evening snack.

Those prices are absolutely an outstanding value considering most major sporting events.

He may not be the most likable guy, but with his short game, Patrick Reed could get a 2nd jacket. At 32-1 there is some real value.
Morikawa is another I will put some coin on that is above the 25-1 odds. (29-1)
Viktor Hovland has been hot, he would not surprise me if he is there at the end. (35-1)

$20 bets :
Reed 32-1
Morikawa 29-1
Hovland 35-1


Longer shots worth a $10 spot :
Billy Horschel 85-1
Ian Poulter 160-1
Phil 160-1
Kevin Kisner 190-1

Will try and pick one of the favorites out of the top 5. At the moment if I had to chose, probably go with JT at 11-1.
