I just want to see Tiger in contention, will he win? Chances are very likely no. But, him and Rory going shot for shot would be pretty fun to watch.

i want bubba and tiger to be in the final pairing


This is what I'm pulling for, I love Bubba Watson, if I'm picking a dark horse it's him (if he counts as dark horse)
I know I will be working a lot this weekend and getting updates from my phone and from here; but I hope I get to see it live whenever tiger has his -6 9 hole explosion he always has at some point in the masters

I wish there was an online fantasy game for the masters that would be fun to play here.

I don't think bubba's game is suited for the masters.... His chipping and putting is his weakest part, and those greens will eat him up. His ability to shape shots is going to help him, but not enough to overcome those greens


The course fits him really well tee to green, actually. Left hander with a natural fade can unload on some holes at Augusta. But yeah, his putting and chipping is horrible, but let me say this. His putting is streaky. He can get hot with it, and if he gets in a groove, he can get 100 out and he can start throwing some darts and just sink 7 and 8 footers... See rounds 1-3 of that WGC Invitational about a month ago.

So yeah, I'd call him a dark horse just because he has it in him to get white hot at times.

I don't even want to attempt to pick a winner. I can go through about 30 names off the top of my head who have a shot.

I agree, but no one who is 152nd in putting is going to win the masters.

bubba can get hot with that putter, i wouldn't count him out.

i can give you 5 names and one will probably win.
Tiger, Phil, Rory, Bubba, DJ

my dark horse would be Keegan Bradley if he's considered one after winning the PGA

Funny thing about golf is, it probably still will be someone outside of your 30


I think Tiger and Phil will be lurking around they have a combined 7 Masters between them, and Tiger hasn't really played Augusta bad in the past few years when he was playing terrible.

Rory is another strong possibility, I think Luke Donald might play pretty well this week too.

I'm not saying he's going to win. I don't think he has the short game or focus to do it four rounds. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he makes a few, gets in a groove, and really lights it up a couple rounds. He's #1 in driving and gir's. That's an advantage anywhere.

He's number 1 in driving distance, but 147 in driving accuracy, which is not an advantage at Augusta.

Sergio will definitely be good for an 8 or better on a few holes at Augusta.
