I'm on Fowler as well. Think he's a great shout.

Casey looks good value too at 66/1. He does well around Augusta normally.

I have an E/W Masters and GN double. Fowler at 16/1 and Many Clouds at 8/1.

I should really learn my lesson about doubles as they've screwed me over in the past, but with Skybet paying 8 places I couldn't resist.

Early days so far but Casey has started beautifully along with Fowler recovering from a double bogey at the first.

Love the red button coverage on Sky though. Rarely get to see much of the front 9 of Augusta but 3 feature groups on it this afternoon with my 2 bets playing in them has been enjoyable so far.

I love it. Watching Amen Corner now.

Mrs Too is enchanted. :cautious:

I mean idk about you guys but im all in on Els winning it;)

:ROFLMAO:

I've just seen that. Couldn't believe what I was watching :eek:. I know those putts looked closer than they are in reality, but it was like watching a pissed person play.

I am shit at golf and even I would have been embarrassed by that on my local pitch and put course. :D.

Well thanks Rickie. You've fucked that right up for me.

Unbelievable from someone so experienced and talented as Els - especially on the 1st!

Spieth looking ominous and will be glad to be in the club house with the wind really picking up.

Spieth and Day are far and away the best two players in the world right now. Both seem to be in the mood to show it at Augusta this year.

Day 5 behind Speith now. The Els putting was unreal! If I'd have done that my mates would never let me forget, yet this is a major winner.

To be fair, those greens are unlike anything you'll have played on a pitch n putt course but that was hilarious nonetheless.

Yeah the Augusta greens are notorious I know. Seems most players had a meltdown on the back 9.

Unfortunately, most of those were players I'd bet on :banghead:.

Yeah, same here. Can't believe Spieth was 10/1. Finishing 1st and 2nd at your only two Augusta appearances was not to be sniffed at. Even worse was that I decided to back Ricky Fowler at 14/1 despite thinking Spieth odds looked a bit long. Gamblers hindsight heh! Got on him in-play at 3/1 to try and save face so hope he keeps it up.

I almost did the exact same thing last night, but I'm having a bit of a mare this weekend with Aintree and my other Masters bets so I decided enough was enough and left it.

He's been in poor form this season, but as you say in hindsight 10/1 for a multiple major winner against 14's for a guy who has yet to win one and can be erratic doesn't seem quite right.

My only saving grace now is if Day and Mickelson get their shit together and get me a couple of places.

Is it too late to go in heavy on DeChambeau with the odds before tee off?:cautious:

I'm really enjoying watching him. He's a breath of fresh air in comparison to Spieth who in my opinion is the most boring player ever, good and all that he is, he seems like a massive dick.

Need him to drop another one or two before the day is out to ensure his mental breakdown.
