The Masters thread (caution golf content)

Anyone else looking forward to this? I have no favourites but as long as some European hopefully UK golfer sticks it to the Yanks. A bit like an everyman for himself Ryder cup.

Yep, can’t wait, as you hoping for a European win. Shall be watching all of it, yet to watch the Par 3 event as i recorded it last night

Yup looking forward to it. Although MTBing and golf are perhaps not the most complimentary hobbies, I enjoy a bit of both.

I wasn’t sure there would be many golfers on here.

What colour pants will Poulter wear? I like his approach – if your going to do it go for it.

Probably not that interested tbh 🙂

Poults has already shown on twitter his outfits/matching Oakleys

I’ve gone with Luke Donald to win.

I’d backed Westwood E/W last year, so hopefully do one better this year.

Poults and Daley the two characters worth looking out for.

+1 Luke Donald

I gave up golf and bought a mountain bike – is that a good link?

I’ve got £2 on Poulter to win at 50/1. Really looking forward to it.

Got my bets in yesterday

£2 each on

Mickelson @ 13/2 to win
Woods @ 12/1 to win

£2 each on

Laird @ 70/1 e/w
Watney @ 18/1 e/w
Wilson @ 200/1 e/w
Kim @ 40/1 e/w

His website’s amazing

Go to “My Life” and “The Garage” and watch the video 😆 😳

I had a free bet with Paddy Power, so my punt on Donald is £20 to win at 28/1!

{Edit – no, I went E/W now I look again}

Poulter’s web site is class – I’m loving the Ford GT in the garage but I would have thought his cars would have more bling.

I can’t access betting sites at work. What odds on Justin Rose?

35/1 for Rose on Paddy Power at the moment

A bit steep that on Rose but he might be there at the end.

I spotted this on the BBC commentary RE Mickelson:

“is replicating his tactic from his win last year in employing two drivers, one with a fade bias and the other with a draw. Perfect material for Augusta success.”

I could do with those although I’d have to know when I’m about to slice it and when in going to hook it.

At the early stage, the Yanks are getting it up um! 😀

1 Fisher Eng -4 13
1 Goosen SA -4 6
3 McIlroy NI -3 7
4 Baddeley Aus -2 8
4 Fujita Jpn -2 6
4 Kuchar US -2 4

Two drivers – this is the Masters – surely a potential winner can draw or fade the ball at will?

Maybe you can’t with these modern drivers with stupidly big heads – a pro like Mickleson should be able to use a smaller head but his sponsors want him to use the huge drivers so they can sell bucketloads if he wins.

True, according to this they need it!

Should be good but I normally wait until the last round before having a punt.

Of course they can but a bias will undoubtedly help, even if it’s just a confidence booster.

Would love Rory to finish it off in style, he’s got to have learnt a lot from the disaster 2nd round at St Andrews. Also gunning for Luke Donald to do well. Looking forward to a night in front of the golf!
