US Masters Golf 2013

[tototoner]

love this tournament, just did my bets for it, all £ 10 EW just for the fun of it

Graeme McDowell 50/1
Louis Oosthuizen 30/1
Charl Schwartzel 25/1

Me too, it's great!

I've gone a little over the top and backed 7 different players all for few quid each way (Paddy Power paying out 6 places). Can't remember the odds to be honest but they range from 26/1 for Schwartzel to about 250/1 for Garrigus. Will hopefully make for a more interesting weekend, which is needed for when Spurs aren't playing.

Schwartzel
Bubba Watson
D Johnson
Mahan
Sterne
Bradley
Garrigus

I know it's boring, but I just can't see past Tiger for this one.

Hoping that Justin Rose might do it, which is the kiss of death for the poor bloke.

I fancy Happy Gilmore to win it.

E/W on Masters is definitely the way to go, you tend to get some fantastic odds. Mike Weir, 5001/1? Zach Johnson, 125/1? Even KJ Choi is @ 45's.......
Woods @ 10/3 isn't worth a penny though, for me each way it's got to be Striker @ 60/1!

Always watch the Masters, final round is always entertaining! Stuck some wonga on Schwartzel and Donald this year.

That Chinese 14yr old is +3 on his second round, might still make the cut, unreal..

Westie, Rose or Donald would be great, can't see Lynn staying up the board, if any of these are not in the mix then Sergio would be a nice win, deserves 1 on his CV, quality player but somewhat bottles the big events, that and being shaky with the old putter..

Woods looking ominous, yet again. Only 2 back and the rest will be watching.

Typical Sergio, a quality round followed by a poor one, he's still not out of it though.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Some very very good players in the mix. Hopefully they all stick in it tomorrow and really make it a great final round.

 

[haxman]

Tiger punished for almost too good a shot there.

Olazabal has been a hero of mine since I was a kid. I love the Masters, two wins for Olly here, and he always plays it every year despite his rickety legs really hampering the amount of tournaments he can play. Finished on 2 over today, will make the cut.

Would love Couples to win, probably my other favourite golfer. Great guy, always felt his career was prematurely curtailed by his back problems. Was a great golfer in his prime.

I am hearing Woods may be disqualified for an illegal drop

Where you hear this?

[Arnoldtoo]

Ooh yes.

My money says they don't disqualify him. Bad for business.

Edit: Though looking at it, he definitely broke the rules, and said in the interview afterwards that he meant to do what he did - "I went back another 2 yards" - so if they stick to the rules he should be out. Interesting.

 

[haxman]

Total cop out if he isn't. They had no problem punishing who Monty said was the "easiest target in the field", the amateur kid for a minor thing, rules is rules, if guilty, Woods should be thrown out.

we'll see now how much influence the big US TV companies and sponsors have over the Masters officials

 

[werty]

Furyk went back 10-15 yards when he went into the water on the same hole. What's the difference between both cases?

there are 2 rules when you go into a water hazard

1 - place ball as near to original as possible
2 - move ball back as far as you want but in line where it went into water

apparently Tiger choose the 1st but didn't adhere to it

The argument could be made that he chose option two though. I don't think he will or should be DQ'd.
