Who wins the Masters 2017 and why

[imakaveli]

Also, a Matsuyama win would be nice to see

[slimeone]

Justin Thomas would have to be a legit chance and pretty good value right now.

[WidespreadPanic]

Alex Noren

 

Euro players are becoming quite the force.

[Whatsinthebag]

Im not picking names but I'll say whoever wins will be a first time winner

[Frankensteins Monster]

Tiger Woods :/

 

Rory. It's his turn.

[stinger_gc]

Willett repeats

Willett repeats

Worth dropping a dollar at 101-1.

[NoFancyUsername.]

Pat Perez..because i like his haircut.

[AThompson_3]

I'd probably drop a couple bucks on DJ, Rory, JRose, and Justin Thomas. If I had to pick only one? How could you possibly pick against DJ right now?

[Dangerfield336]

Kisner one time pls.

 

Really like his game.

 

Would love to see this. Played with the guy on every level. Great guy and he won't back down.

[i*windows]

Paul Casey, because he would serve spinach at the Masters Dinner

[andrieddle]

I think DJ is the obvious favorite. Rory, JD and Spieth are up there as people you can't discount, or you won't think twice if they are leading.

 

I really want Rickie to win this though, he's been playing great and I think he could've win at Houston if he didn't drop 3 shots on the last 2 holes of his 3rd round. That threw off his stride, whereas Henley birdied his last holes on the 3rd round and walked all over the course on Sunday. He needs to close his tournaments better and if he can close this, we will see a different golfer emerging after this.

 

Rahm is worth watching as well, how he does on the Masters given his form.

And if his aunty had balls she'd be his uncle. If onlys in every round of every torunament.

Great short game (Lead Euro tour scrambling I believe) but hits nothing but a cut which isn't ideal for Augusta.

 

I've a feeling this is Rory's year, Rahm worth a few coins E/W

[beckk10]

Predictable, but can't see past DJ.

 

Why? He's head and shoulders above everyone else right now. If he just lets it happen, he must be in contention going into Sunday.

 

Speith's long game is ragged and Rory's making too many dumb mistakes. Not sure if JD even plays.

 

im going to go a head and sound like an idiot here, so they say at augusta a player is better to hit it right to left off the tee, and left to right on approach shots, preferably. I think the cut driver DJ has going right now is not going to help him out there!

 

Dustin's t6 in 2015 and t4 last year shows his ball flight is not a hinderance. He is obviously becoming more comfortable at Augusta, and he is currently playing with more confidence than ever. The only thing working against DJ is his three start winning streak.

 

was he hitting that cut last year at this time? don't remember... thought this was a newer thing for him.

But regardless of the shape, is high and straight 300 in the air any good? just making sure

Might not be in the forecasted wind on Thurs fri

[HISPL]

Phil, would be a history making victory and he has been playing well.

 

Augusta suits his game, he knows the course very well.

 

 

[Full Melt]

Hideki takes it this year!

[fillwelix]

Rickie leads after round 1, Rory wins the whole thing

[manku]

I bet a bunch of long shots, because it's much more fun. Also, you have great hedging opportunities come Sunday.

 

JB

Moore

Noren

Swafford

Cabrera

Hoffman, Charlie

Reed

 

All going off at at least 100-1, which is probably what they deserve!

[WidespreadPanic]

Is hitting a cut really that bad for Augusta?

[AceCatKY]

DJ laps the field

[shotmark]

TW because he deserves a break after hitting the pin / getting hosed on the drop a few years ago.

 

Tom Weiskopf? thought he'd retired.

[shotmark]

Given his recent Masters record and his form this season I don't think Rose will win but reckon he's a nailed on each way bet.

[Nard_S]

Dustin Johnson is ready to destroy course My gut tells me they will set the greens extremely fast with tough pins to stop him from breaking records. So a long hitter with a hot putter takes it and that will not be DJ.

Rickie leads after round 1, Rory wins the whole thing

Interesting. Predicting first round leader can be more fun (and lucrative).

I'll go for Ross Fisher. Long, high ball hitter who played well at the matchplay.

It'd be interesting to see what everyone has for first round leaders, definitely a fun exercise!

[WidespreadPanic]

I don't think they'll win, but I'm looking for Hatton and Fleetwood to have solid showings. Can Westwood continue his ridiculous Masters record (without a win)?

[alittleoverpar]

I'm going to go with Spieth. I think he edges DJ for the victory. I think on any given day at Augusta Speith out putts DJ.

 

If it turns out to be a mud bath, I'll take Rory for the win.
