The Masters: Who've you got?

[bepo]

Wow, nobody taking the 3 favorites? In that case I'll be the one, Woods, Rory and Phil

[Boogs2]

Tiger
Phil
Choi

[deasy55]

Here are [b][u]Gary Player's[/u][/b] top 5 picks (from The Guardian interview):

[b][b][size="2"]Tiger Woods[/size][/b][/b]
[size="2"]At his most focused and dangerous. His passion is unbelievable and he is coming off a win last week[/size]


[b][b][size="2"]Rory McIlroy[/size][/b][/b]
[size="2"]Looks like he can win every tournament he plays in. Last year's events will help him, as will winning a major[/size]


[b][b][size="2"]Justin Rose[/size][/b][/b]
[size="2"]Has as beautiful a golf swing as anybody on tour and is looking for his first major. Playing well enough to win one[/size]


[b][b][size="2"]Charl Schwartzel[/size][/b][/b]
[size="2"]Such a consistent player so it wasn't a surprise he won Masters a year ago. Will be hungry to add more[/size]


[b][b][size="2"]Lee Westwood[/size][/b][/b]
[size="2"]He really deserves to win a major. Is it luck that has deserted him so far? I've always felt he will do it, though

Golf is sooooo tuff to predict. But I think TW and Rory have the best chances to contend. Anyone else is just a dumb luck guess....

[superflop]

I've seen quite a few for Sergio. I just don't see it in him to win his first next week.
Luke
Lefty
And as much as I don't want to...... TIGGER

[TexMex36]

Tiger
Bradley

Tiger
Rory
Phil

Phil-last 10 masters 3 wins and SEVEN top 5's. Playing some of his best early season golf in years. How can he not be among the favorites?

Tiger- last week looked like the 200X (Insert any year pre-hydrant here) If he gets it going on the greens and his swing doesn't leave him. he will be right there Sunday

Rory- The kid's been waiting a full year for his shot at redemption. He is not scared to succeed. if he putts GREAT he will be very hard to beat.

The coolest part of all of this is the guys who are 4-20 who have a great chance at winning too. There are so many guys who if they play their best golf absolutely have a chance to pull this one out. Jason Day, Sergio, Hunter, DJ, Westy, Luke (although i am not sure he's long enough. No one is gonna win this thing Zach Johnson style this year) Snedeker, KJ. Dare I say Freddie couples? on and on and on!!

Seriously is this not the best run up to a Masters in Years? yeah last year with Tigers return was cool but there were no real expectations that he would win it coming back from, um, "rehab" but this year after what he did at bayhill, what Phil did at Pebble, and all of the other amazing finishes and guys playing clutch down the stretch (and some not so clutch) it just has a feel to it like the masters is gonna be huge payoff for those of who love watching it. I simply can't wait!

[Aithos]

Tiger Woods - because it's time he won another major
Rory McIlroy - because he shares my name and it's an awesome name
Luke Donald - because I'd like to see him win a major


I'd be happy if any of these three won, or a handful of others..but I'm rooting for Tiger this year.

[StevenF]

I'm going with Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan

[JoshRH]

Tiger WoodsBubba WatsonRory McllroyIt will be one of those three that wins it, I can feel it in my bones. My best guess is Tiger though.

You're the first to pick Bubba or Mahan I think.

[SurfinTurf]

That's four picks for Rose if you count Gary Player's picks. He is looking solid! Good call.

Will I get 3$ for picking the winner 3 times? I'm all in

No, but I'll pay you 2 dollars out of sympathy for being the first fanboy to post this predictable response.

Edit: And if you should win I'm going to ask my wife to just kick me in the nuts with all she's got.

Can i ask you something.. why that if someone likes a particular player more than another whether it's Tiger or Phil ,Rory or any player as a matter of fact and they express it people like you can't have any other response but trying to belittle them by the "fanboy" label , i presume that you have no other intellegent response so you use some lame a** 9th grade school playground name to get your point across .. im not sure why i waste my time responding to this stupid crap because those like you dont get it and never will

In fairness, picking the same player 3 times when you are supposed to pick 3 different players is fanboyish. There's no other word to describe it (except crazy, perhaps) And that goes for all people, not just the people picking Tiger 3 times.

I'm not sure why I waste my time responding to this because those like you will never get it and never will

The Baddeley fans are optimistic. Out of his 12 yrs on tour, he's had [i]one[/i] top 20 finish and 9 DNP's or Missed Cuts. Good luck!

I'm the only one that picked him I believe. I also picked Phil and Rory so he's my bIackhorse pick. Having said that I think he's in really good form right now.

So wait, calling the "tiger woods X 3" poster a fanboy is 9th grade playground name calling, but the very act of listing tiger 3 times is somehow mature and intelligent response and should be respected?

[Sean2]

Woods: he's driving the ball well.
McIlroy: he's looking for redemption and plays fearlessly.
Mickelson: his putter has been behaving.

My other three:

Westood: always around, but can he keep it together?
Stricker: solid short game, keeps the ball in play.
Bradley: just goes about his business and does it very well.
