Masters this week, love it. Who are people backing? I’ve gone for Casey 22/1 and Leishman 50/1 e/w.
Yeah I can't wait.
I quite fancy Rory this week, but at 8/1 he's too short for me. I've backed Justin Thomas at 11/1, Rose at 25/1, Bubba at 28/1, Casey at 20/1, Kuchar at 45/1, Hatton at 50/1 and Harman at 125/1. All E/W.
Rory 12/1 now with Betfair. I reckon there's just about value there, especially with them paying 8 places. His putting (and all round game) was brilliant the other week.
So many potential winners of this one. I'm nowhere near finalising my picks, although I have backed Stenson who I think is decent EW value with the 8 or 10 places. Bubba at 28/1 is decent but I can't back him now at 16/1.
The top 5 favourites are all 10/1 or less at at least one bookie. Definitely an event for shopping round for the odds this one.
Augustus always looks so beautiful. Looks like some solid starts out there from the big hitters. I back Justin Thomas and then each way on Casey which isn't looking too handsome but plenty of golf to play.
Edit: as I write about the solid start for big hitters Garcia seems to have attached a water magnet to his ball! Insane, what a way to lose a tournament on day 1.
Spieth looks imperious but then he did two years ago and dropped five shots on 10,11,12 in the last round so we will see if he can keep it up. The good thing about Rory was how he finished the round making pars when he looked like dropping shots; he holed some great putts. It would be great to see a good shoot out with these two ... though I would love to see Stenson play Augusta well as he never has and when in the zone he is a hard man to beatSpieth v rory in a major then? Been waiting a while for this. Could be immense.
Anyone else having problems watching it on the red button? Haven't been able to get it working yesterday or today.
