Looking at them odds just reminds me that the Masters is the Grand National of golf, obviously the Tigger is the class horse and Phil must have a chance if he gets round, no pun intended, but other than they I could happily back twenty others who might be in the frame come Sunday Night.

Rivals The Open for viewing pleasure in my book.

Mcilroy has been superb this year, I am sure he will continue to make a good account for himself the rest of the season. He has such a mature head on top of such a young pair of shoulders.

However, Woods seems to have come back stronger then ever, really would love to see a classic Woods performance this Easter!

One of my favourite sporting weekends of the year - absolutely love it. As much as I love The Open, in terms of aesthetics and pleasurable viewing I'd say this is in a different league - not a big fan of links courses when they're on the TV.

Like ******** said, betting wise it's like the Grand National of golf, but the upside is I for one know far more about a golfer than I do about a horse (although that's not saying much).

I put some small each way bets on earlier and reckon I got some decent odds:
Paul Casey - 25/1
Sean O'Hair - 66/1
Zach Johnson - 40/1
Tim Clark - 100/1 (can't believe those odds considering he already has 2 top 10 finishes at the Masters)
Oliver Wilson - 125/1

Woods will win it. Is that knobhead Lineker presenting it again? He only goes out there for the suntan, he doesn't give a sh*t about golf (although neither do I much).

do they do good spray on tans in Georgia?

First day today, can't wait here are my predictions.

Winner - Tiger Woods
Highest placed European - Paul Casey

4 hole in ones were hit on the last practice round - 2 of them coming from Greg Norman and Gary Player, absolute quality.

Heard earlier today that all in all, Gary Player has spent a year of his life playing at the Masters - not a bad effort!

Incredible, hope they show some footage of the practice rounds tonight. I'm gutted that I missed the par 3 tourney, didn't know they were showing it online yesterday

Amazing statistic about Gary Player, a year of his life! Quality!

well Tiger is looking pretty good now; only 5 shots off the lead after one day. He usually steps it up a gear on the saturday and sunday and has to be favourite at the moment
