For once, I actually think Tiger's gonna win.

I really don't know.
Some of the experts this week were saying that form isn't that important coming to Augusta, course knowledge is key.
Based on that you'd have to give Tiger a chance, but he's been well below his best for far too long now to expect him to come back to top form at Augusta.
Butch Harmon was on Irish radio yesterday and is very sweet on some of his own players - Watney and Dustin Johnson. He says both have the game to succeed at Augusta, but recognises that both have lost a major having led on the last day.
He reckons Mickelson will be there or thereabouts too because his short game is so good.

I have no idea who will win but I know it won't be Tiger. Although for interest's sake I hope he makes a run. And gets his game back on track in general.
Mickelson rightly starts as favourite and Tiger is only second favourite on history.
That said I reckon it willl be a midlle ranking American that will win, probably one without a major title already.
The names Steve Stricker and Hunter Mahan come to mind at the moment, as players who are on decent form I think and are probably good enough to win a major or two.

Anyone fancy Kaymer this week?

I don't know about Kaymer.
He has been magnificent the last season or two but I wonder has he got a major in him.
He was very average in the Ryder Cup, which was probably his biggest challenge to date.
I have this feeling that he is going to be one of those players who win big while in top form for a few years and then fade away quickly a la Curtis Strange, David Duval etc.

I think he's failed to make the cut on his 3 previous visits which doesn't fill me with confidence. He's a fine player though.
I've decided to back three in it. My main two being Dustin Johnson and Steve Stricker plus a small bet on Rickie Fowler

Really enjoying this Masters. Can wee Rory keep this going?
Aye. Be interesting to see what happens if he goes into Sunday with say a 3 shot lead over Phil...
Phil's not getting close. Tiger may well do though.
Tiger looking like Tiger
Come on Rory. I've been waiting him to lose it, but he has been sooo smooth. I'd love him to do it for our wee cuntree.
