No its not. Its not interesting when anyone is kicking ass. The casual fan likes when Tiger is in contention on Sunday, but the best is when there are 3, 4, 5+ guys within a couple of shots of the lead and battling it out on Sunday afternoon. This is true of most any PGA tournament, but especially true for the Master's.


I'm speaking for myself, Frank.

Thank you for Scoreheading.

Frank, I was explaining my thoughts on The Masters. I speak for myself, and myself only. You "Scoreheaded", and told me that my opinion is wrong.

Thursday at 5:00.

I think that all too often, you are looking for a confrontation with me, like with the Tiger injury stuff. That didn't work out to well for you.

I have Sergio and Kuchar, both at 40/1. I grabbed those in January.

You're throwing money away on Sergio. He doesn't have it between the ears to win a major.

40/1 on Kuchar is worth the gamble, although I have not been impressed with teh way he's played this year vs some watered down competition, let alone in a field like the Masters.

Great Feherty interview with Kuchar on Monday. Worth a watch if you can find it.

I hear you about Sergio. It can be tough to watch him melt down when I have backed him, but his game is too good to not contend at Augusta. Nobody gets in his head more than Tiger, but he won't be around. Sergio is 32/1 now, so I have some value.

Kuchar was brutal on Sunday, but he was on fire Saturday. He has the game, if he can put it all together. He has won a Players (5th major), and now he is 24/1, so it's another good value play.

I'm making less "to win" picks in these events, as it is basically throwing darts, with fields of 144 sometimes, and so many good players.

I like making plays on the top guys to make the cut at the Masters. You have to lay long odds, but with a small field full of amateurs and seniors, the stallions usually make the cut.

I think Bubba has a good chance to get his second green jacket, but I have a feeling this is the time Snedeker puts it all together and wins his major.

If his putter is on, Sneds has as good a chance as anybody.

I think Bubba should thank his lucky stars that he somehow has 1 green jacket. He'll never win another imo, he's turning into a bit of an overrated bum. Easily the most unlikeable player on tour for the way he treats his caddy as well as his recent withdraw for fucking allergies.

I wouldn't touch Snedeker until he proves he can putt again.

I'm inclined to agree with shakes on this. Bubba curls the ball way more than your typical Augusta winner.
He can do some amazing things with the ball moving it but that can get you in a lot of trouble at The Masters.
He's probably the only guy who could have made that shot from the pine straw when he won, but why was
he even over there? His game isn't generally suited for the majors. I could see him winning a British before
any other major.
