[McGarnicle]

Almost that time of year again.

Perfect forecast, no rain, temps in the mid 70's to low 80's.

No Tiger.

No Tiger tantrums.

Predictions?

What kind of beer will you be drinking?

 

[grateful zed]

i dont get what all the excitement is about.

 

[McGarnicle]

Phil says he'll miss Tiger this week.

"It's a weird feeling not having him here, isn't it?" Mickelson said. "He's been such a mainstay in professional golf and the majors. It's awkward to not have him here. I hope he gets back soon. I mean, I hope he's back for the other majors, and as much as I want to win and I know how great he is and tough to beat it ... it also makes it special when he's in the field and you're able to win."

White dot

 

[Johnny Rock]

will john daly be there?

I think I read that Daly will be hawking his wares out of a nearby parking lot again. Fun guy to watch when he was out on the course.

[joffer]

I like Stenson or Day

They've decided to have it in Augusta, GA again this year.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Having trouble with my picks - especially group 3 and 4

You are missing out GB. It's the best tourney of the season. And It Ain't Even Close.

[fantasycurse42]

Placing my bets on Cabrera, Bubba, & Rory.

 

[BRONG]

Great stuff guys, keep it coming.

 

[Quint]

Day and his thumb issues have scared me away from picking him. 14/1 is a bit low i think.

much as i hate Sergio, i think he's a good price at 22/1.

i'll take a stab with Dufner and Speith at 40/1, and Cabrera at 50/1 (i think this is the only tournament El Pato plays anymore).

at longer odds a throw a little something at Nick Watney 125/1.

i wish i could find a prop on how many times Jim Nance mentions TW through all four rounds. i'd take the Over all day.

 

[McGarnicle]

A little mood music.

Cross Ryan Moore off your list

 

[BobbyLayne]

Cross Ryan Moore off your list

Half of the 100 participants didn't turn in a score (mulligans, allowing caddies to play, etc).

 

[gmbacm]

.

 

[Nipsey]

That Field bet on sportsbook.com looks juicy to me. 20-1 and you get a bunch of decent players. Reed, Kirk, Dubuisson, Every, the last two winners on tour in Jones and Bowditch, somebody else not horrible who I'm forgetting and then 22 or so other guys, most of who have no shot but you all get 22 of them.

 

[bushdocda]

Give me Keegan in the final group. That guy is hilarious to watch.

 

[Nipsey]

So far:

field 20/1

snedeker 25/1

z johnson 25/1

english 45/1

woodland 70/1

haas 80/1

leishman 125/1

molinari 150/1

after careful consideration tossing scott, kuchar, donald, sergio, d johnson, bubba, stenson, mcdowell, westwood, rose, bradley, dufner, mahan, fowler. will probably make a one more large wager on rory. 10/1 sucks but rather take that then play spieth or phil, the two other lowish odds guys i cant toss.

 

[belljr]

Bump it's game day

 

[huskers15]

Got some bad numbers but here's my to win bets:

D Johnson 18/1

Z Johnson 25/1

G Mcdowell 50/1

Field 30/1

Els 55/1

Phil 10/1 - I got a feeling

L Westwood 36/1

S Garcia 16/1

M Kuchar 16/1

Mahan 40/1

Hole on one - YES -125 (probably won't come until Sunday)

Playoff - YES +250

Winning Score OVER 276.5 -125

US Amateur make cut - NO +180

 

[Jayrok]

Sergio will compete early then fall off on Saturday. Pulling for Dufner and Phil. Think Stenson will be in the final two groups on Sunday. Intrigued by Rory this week. He could be leading after Friday's round.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Four days of delicious Pimento Cheese sandwiches

 

[Cyclones]

Hoping Day's thumb injury is healed up. Also love DeLaet at those odds - he is due to win at some point, why not here?

 

[Franknbeans]

how much you guys betting on these?

 

[McGarnicle]

Blixt is ripping the course a new #######!!!

 

[joffer]

you can stream live now on the iPad app

 

[Jayrok]

Webb Simpson on fire early.

I saw this too. Definitely seemed like best value.

I went Kuchar at a similar number and Walker and DeLaet at 55/1 and 65/1 I think. I think the "first timers struggle at Augusta" thing is probably already built in to the odds so I'm hoping for value from a couple longshots having solid years.

 

[Jayrok]

Webb Simpson on fire early.

Well I must've put the kibosh on Webb. Dropped 2 on 5.

 

[hagmania]

Blixt with a fantastic shot on 13. Potential Eagle to go to -5.

 

[Emerson Biggens]

Give me a fictitious nickel on these 3: Luke Donald and Poulter at 55/1 and Westwood at 40/1.

Kevin Stadler part of the field.

Is this live on TV anywhere?

Starts at 3PM on ESPN.

 

[Nipsey]

masters.com glorious as always

 

[hagmania]

So glad I got a new phone recently. Picture's glorious streaming from the app.

 

[McGarnicle]

masters.com glorious as always

Yep, nice soundtrack while I'm working, and quick click over to watch the video when something good happens. This is probably going to be an early beer day.

 

[TobiasFunke]

masters.com glorious as always

It really is. So strange how the Masters people are so resistant to letting people watch their tournament on television but simultaneously give people such quality access on their web site. Although it would be even better if they did shot tracking.

 

[hagmania]

Pulling for Sneds, he's always giving a little back to Nashville.

 

[McGarnicle]

Strong start for Adam Scott.

 

[ffldrew]

Strong start for Adam Scott.

You're all wet

 

[Nipsey]

live betting is awesome. pressed on haas at +4400 just before he made birdie on 13. could have outright lead with 64 holes to play!

 

[McGarnicle]

Strong start for Adam Scott.

You're all wet

And semi-erect! Love seeing Couples near the top of the leaderboard. It never lasts beyond Friday, but still great to root for him again.

 

[chet]

Good start for Day. -1 thru 3
