Masters question

cat 16

winners of full tour events from last masters to current masters



suggests winner would get an invite if required

if you win next week you will get a spot

Charlie is a local boy,never did much around that track from memory,not like Larry Mize!!

Thanks guys.

He had a top twenty last year, and he is currently in great form, but I would have thought that all professional golfers would go all out and grab an opportunity to play The Masters, irrespective of their record at the place.

I guess he has his reasons.

Was huge pressure on him when he made his debut there years back.Was considered the next big thing,never worked out for him,seems lovely lad.Found his ball in the deep rough at the Open last year and was ever so grateful.Not always the case with pros.

Sorry,kind of gone off topic.

a top 3 this week might be enough to get him through via world rankings .......

AHH.. In that case... Come on Chucky.. Had a few bob on him @ 300s for Augusta. No show no bet.

Howell didn't make the world top 50 rankings, so he'll be watching from his couch like the rest of us

I had a free green on Chucky, most disappointed he didn't get in.

sterne, freddie jacobson, stenson, all in now on this weeks rankings

siem didnt make it thought if he won he was in

he did win

i know he won.thought from what com said he would be in the masters but missed out

siem was in a qualifying spot after his win,  but henly picked up 1.37 points which knocked siem from 50th to 51st in the rankings

ouch

cheers donny very unlucky for siem

Siem must have been gutted especially as Henley was already in.

Im sure that i heard somewhere siem has an invitation to texas this week to give him another chance...

yeaah, he said in his interview after win in Morocco that he'd been invited and was gonna play in Texas this week.

Thought Henley already in because he won a PGA event?

he was ski, but those few points he picked up prevented siem being in the top 50

it wasnt an either or situation, the committee invite the top 50 from the week before the masters if they havnt
already been invited

Does anybody think Tiger is value at such a skinny price? I'll be looking for value at some of the massive prices nearer the time. Probably an American will win it again.

Value - No.

Tiger had won 3 times this year but his tee shot were dodgy at best....kept missing the fairways and little rough or trees so he was able to get back in it. This won't happen at the masters as too many trees.

He would need to be more accurate off the tee hence wait and see until he plays before backing.

If he putts like he has recently he will win regardless of where he hits it off the tee.

i tend to agree mighty whites but its harder to putt that well at augusta

7/2 not great value to me, but hes by far the most likely winner imo

Always fun (and profitable if guessed right) to try and predict Tigers starting SP.
Layed at 4.7 as would be surprised if he doesn't go off at at least 5's on the high street, so maybe 5.2 on here.
Thoughts?

Donny, whilst i doubt Tiger will be putt as well as he has had recently i don't buy into the it is impossible to putt really well at Augusta. Yes they are undulating and if you get on the wrong side of the hole very slick. However the holes are effectively in the same position every year so the  more experienced players tend to know the lines and where to miss with their approach shots.

i agree with all of that mighty whites

For me you will know at halfway if Tiger wins or not.If he is within 3 after 2 rounds he will win,if not highly unlikely.Not a catch up course.Well thats my thinking!
Mickelson e/w always the play for me at The Masters.

Stunning. If he is within 3 after 2 rounds he WILL win.  But if a stroke or 2 worse, highly unlikely !!!

Exactly!!

We' ll know after round 1 if tiger is winning.  Seem to remember from previous years the winner comes from the top 8 after the first round.
