Who’s your “underdog” to win the Masters?

[JermWRX]

I know it could be kind of a loaded topic, but I’m always looking at odds to win. I see 2 guys that jump off the page to me. As far as odds go both Morikawa and Reed are relatively large underdogs. Kind of surprises me with Reed because of past success and short game, and with Morikawa his iron play fits this course well, in my opinion. Am I crazy? Anyone have any other relative underdogs they like this week?

Look to the great putters as the underdogs to watch .

 

Patrick Reed and Michael Thompson

I agree. Especially if the greens are going to be as firm and quick as they’re reporting

I like that too, but I’m not sure if this course fits him. Can he be as good around the greens that it’s gonna take to win this week?

[ChipNRun]

My decade-long long shot is Matt Kuchar. He gets a lot of top 10 finishes, and if he pulled off a Masters win he would upset a lot of know-it-alls who need to be unsettled.

Man, that’d be something. I think his time has passed, though. I’d be shocked if he won it. But he’s at +9000 to win. That’s a big hit if he pulled it off🔥

Angel Cabrera is an underdog this year.

He’s 26th in SG around the green this year. But he has to putt well otherwise he’s toast.

Certainly a good pick to win. At +1575 he’s not quite an underdog, though. He’s in the top 5-7 of favorites

[DArnie]

Here's 3-- Matt Jones, Joaquim Nieman, & Xander

Haven’t seen any odds on his bail yet...

Justin Rose

 

+10000

Nieman is a sleeper pick. I like it. Xander at +1900 doesn’t really qualify as an underdog, IMO. Now Jones at +15,000... wow🔥

This popped to me too. He really hasn’t played well in quite awhile, though. But I bet he’ll win for the most commercials aired😂

Webb Simpson is always flying under the radar.

One of my favorite players. Not sure he can pull it off, but I sure would be happy

odds? ... he's easily the most underdog out there ... he's Ivan Lendl at this point, trying to win Wimbledon ...

Is 14-1 an underdog?  I like Rory in the tournament but not at that price

[braincramp52]

Lee Westwood

[jomatty]

Homa seems like a guy who can hit a draw and plays well on tough courses.  
Hard to not look for lefty’s.  Robert macentire and brian Harmon are long odds/big payoffs...

Oof. I love what he’s doing right now, but he’s faltered when it’s on the line. Can he actually break through?? Be a great story if he did

Outside the box picks. I love it

No. It’s not an underdog. Lol. 

[PureStrikes54]

Kevin Na- not sure he can pull it off but his odds are WAY out of line for his season performance.

Jason Day.

Yea, I don't think he will win but I'd be happy for him if he did.
