Muff 245 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Augusta National: The first and best major championships of the year, one of the greatest sporting events, IMO. A tournament that I look forward to each year and it should be even better in Sky HD and 3D, with the likes of David Livingstone, Ewen Murray, Butch Harmon, Bruce Critchley, Howard Clark and the golf channel crew... on top of a very strong field of players.Odds: http://www.oddschecker.com/golf/us-masters/winnerSo who is going to win: Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Matt Kuchar, Martin Kaymer, Dustin Johnson, Luke Donald... can Tiger Woods mount a serious challenge (doubt it as his driving and putting will see him all over the place), what about Martin Laird or Graeme McDowell?I'm backing Nick Watney as always, along with Rickie Fowler, and Zach Johnson as an outsider.Sky Sports coverage (par 3 included, which should be good) - http://www.skysports.com/golf/masters/story/0,29462,14501_6790993,00.htmlShould be a cracking four days of golf.

TexasGers 96 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 This is where the golf season really starts IMO. Think I read 6 different guys can claim world # 1 with a win?My dad will be there Saturday and Sunday with an all-inclusive pass the lucky bastard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 762 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yes, Masters week Kaymer has got the mentality, but fades the ball so Augusta is against him. Westwood has the game, but not the mentality.Mick was electric last week - is he favourite to win? I haven't seen any odds, I would be amazed if he wasn't favourite.My £2 is on Justin Rose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

don logan 8,233 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 £5 on the nose for Tiger based on the laws of probability that he's bound to have a stormer sooner or later.£2 each way on Martin Laird, purely for patriotic reasons and £2 each way on F Molinari because Chris Evans name checked him in the paper on Sunday.Let it roll.................

MarkyMitch 4 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Who's everyone backing?I think Dustin Johnson is a good each way bet along with Donald and Laird.Also quite tempted with Watney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 After Dustin Johnson completely shat himself on the last day of the US Open I'm not sure I could back him. Tough one though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alk3 444 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 now that the masters is being shown on sky, does that mean adverts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan 23 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Better? Not a fucking hope, thats just my opinion though!They will take the american broadcasters breaks and then have breaks of their own. I for one cant wait until the BBC starts showing live coverage on Saturday.. Plus the commentators on Sky do my bloody nut in.... That being said i cant wait for it and will stick a bet on Donald and Laird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
