K.J. Choi is an excellent choice. Whoever picked Sergio made a horrible choice. I think Lee Westwood can make some noise, and I see Zach Johnson being near the top of the leaderboard the entire weekend.

K.J. has only 2 top 25 finishes in his career at Augusta

Westwood I can agree with, if he putts well, which is always his Achilles heal

Zach Johnson has gone T20, Cut, 42, Cut, T32 since his win.


ETA: I like Jason Day

A lot of top 20 guys being picked. What would be considered a dark horse?

I'd say anyone that has worse than 40/1 or maybe 50/1 odds.. which eliminates several of the aforementioned players.

Ha. These two guys are the definition of a dark horse for this tournament. Please explain how Sergio is a horrible "choice." Do you know what a dark horse is?

No. You don't.

The whole definition of a "darkhouse" is debatable, I guess there aren't any bad picks, other than people who are already major winners or in the top 25 of the world.

Sergio hasn't done shite in majors recently, especially last year. His best finish in the Masters in the past 10 years was last year when he finished 12th. You're kidding yourself if you think he has any chance at all.

Dark horse? I like Keegan or Mahan. Not sure either one would fully be considered a dark horse but why not.

Bill Haas (70/1) - A bunch of top 10s this year

Richard Sterne (100/1) - Won J'Berg Open at -27 this year, 7 shots ahead of Schwartzel

I'm not sure I'd consider Bill Haas a darkhorse, dude won the Fedex cup 2 years ago

ETA: The other guy, definitely a darkhorse

I took a prop that DJ would win. Poulter being 1st round leader and McDowell being top European.
