the masters - 2021

Stick a pin in about anyone of twenty five or more.

One minute someone plays great, maybe even wins a tourney then the next he doesn't even make the cut?  Pure lottery.

All reports suggest Augusta is super firm - let's hope they keep it that way and what we see has zero resemblance to what we watched in November. Short game brilliance and putting will be essential if it stays as they are describing so looking toward a couple of former champs in Reed and Spieth - not sure why Jordan is drifting, I think he should be right alongside DJ at the head of the market.

Spieth
Cam Smith
Fitzpatrick so far. Big Dusty far too short for me, as is DeChambeau.

Augusta National, Thursday morning, mist lifting, and the sun beginning to peek through.....HEAVEN!

Spieth

horses for courses is the Masters and the bookies have priced it up accordingly so the front runners are way skinny but they will be figuring so what can you do?

Schauff is out of form and confidence and doesn't exactly win hard held when he does but at 28 could be some value if he can find some spark

Koepka could go close but you'd have to worry how sound he is

Reed is overpriced imho and could have a good run at it

Cam Smith can play some good stuff

Fritelli could figure but he just won't get it done under the cosh

Homa you never know

as ever gets the juices flowing

Agree with some of the points above chaps.

Horses for courses...

Spieth drift strange...I though back nine drove it superbly Sunday,putting looked right back,been looking like coming for a few weeks now as weve openly discussed on here,barring a Hoff superb run Spieth wins by 6,7 and he may be real short. Be surprised if not right in the mix,with confidence almost restored though at times still looked shaky.

The other market leaders are just default but DJ Rahm X not exactly in great nick, Rory you could add but I do think becoming backable at 20 plus. He can just find it from nowhere, so much talent...

Jones or Lanto for the retiral win.

Spieth main bet so far by long long way.

Pairings out today I assume?

Team Casey,Garcia,Bubba,Jt,on my radar eway.

First 11 in places.

lay spiff and the mince all markets

I was against backing Brooks because of his recent injury, but I didn't actually check his price. 32s on the exchange is huge!

Berger, Fitzpatrick, Matsuyama, Ancer.

Good luck.

morikawa 4th in the rankings and won already this season and is 40/1? he throws out having course experience enough of times by now to ignore

play up last weeks speith winnings on a good few ew 1st 11
speith 11,s
rory 16,s
fitzy 40,s
casey 30,s
jason 45,s
oosty 55,s
kokrak 80,s

Spieth and Bubba backed in Feb - added Willett and having oosty and westy EW. Smaller stakes, had to have a go in the lefty market as a fellow lefty lol - Bubba at 3.25 a no brainer. Can we all forget November happened and get back to normal? don't get me wrong it was nice seeing DJ add to his tally, but it just wasn't right was it.

Here's Coley's guide:

https://www.sportinglife.com/golf/news/the-masters-player-by-player-guide/189781

Casey - Ex-human rights activist - lol ouch

Bubba played pretty decent at the matchplay, but surely he's too old now at 42. It's only the greats of the game that have managed to win here in their 40s.

westy at 60s,   put in a  lay  at 25ish  hopefully free rolling  after that.  maybe similar  tactics with casey  , but have backed  schauffele  ew 22s 10 places despite him  not  being totally  on blob.

Sandy Lyle set to make Masters history with most consecutive appearances

he gets a invite every year

Winning The Masters = Lifetime exemption. 

Backing Webb Simpson small win and big top 20

+small interest on the 4 Asian players.

Munoz Round 1 3 ball  evens
Don't stop believin

Kisner 400......£10

I fancy Morikawa and Thomas if the putter works.  Hail Mary on CT Pan. Rahm interesting, and Spieth the biggest quandry. I backed him last week, but can't quite convince myself he played well enough to win this.  I am very very against Bryson and probably DJ.

If you haven't read Ben Coley's player by player guide on Sporting Life, there are some amusing lines - Paul Casey mentioned by Hank above, but many others such as Leishman "Keen gardener who plays a bit of golf" and Cameron Smith "Laidback Australian (would be a tautology but for various tennis nutcases and Madge Bishop)"

As I have the next to afternoons off for Aintree, I will probably habe my main plays at the half way stage.

Best of luck.

Just seen a shot of the first green - it's actually brown!

Never seen a brown green at Augusta. Wind set to die late today so could be interesting for those going in the middle of the day, have to fancy Spieth and Thomas and would love to see them go head to head final group Sunday.

the green look fairly burnt on hole one, havent see it like that for a long while, scores will be in the single digits if its the same for the rest of the course

Anyone seen odds on what winning score will be thx.

pp

going - 10

10/11 either way

think slammed on overs looking at early starters

Champ for me . Doubled up with Lord Du Mesnil . Easy game haha

sky breaking down swings during the action

I did back Brooks but I think for entertainment purposes I'll back Thomas now though at 10

Spieths game better now or something? he went missing for about 3 years

hideki and casey already nailed on for a top 2-10 finish

the nails on casey/natsu starting to pop out

casey 1 over one to play hope you cashed out on top 10 finish,

rose off 936am/ UK 236pm friday

would be one of the tightest fields in history after 1st round except for rose

Crazy starting price of 140 considering his history there,i suppose the 5 week lay off is why

Rose can't keep that up?

I think Spieth looks a big contender

wasn’t meant to be taken literally 1st time potser, it probably was double figures at the time , was emphasizing they are as good as anyone but not the know how in the big arena to win.

Xander Schauffele speaks Japanese. He & Hideki were exchanging Japanese jokes in yesterday's round.
