Where are the golf fans? Masters predictions?
Hey guys, while most obviously do not have time to groom their games anymore, I imagine that there are still quite a few golf fans out there.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on who will win the Masters this year.
My top headlines being:
1) Tiger is back. (Enough said there.)
2) Rory going for three straight Majors, his first Masters, and the career slam.
3) Jordan Speith finished runner-up in his first ever Masters. Can he win it all this year?
4) Ricky Fowler finished top-5 in all of the majors last year. Can he continue the success? Can he win his first major?
5) Ben Crenshaw is playing in his last Masters. (Many do not know who this is, but the senior folks definitely do).
To finish it off, my top 3 picks to win this year are Justin Rose, Jason Day, and Henrik Stenson. It saddens me that none of these are Americans, but my dark horse is also Tiger. He has looked very relaxed and seems to be swinging very smoothly in his practice rounds and in the par 3. If he stays relaxed throughout, I think he could have a shot.
Who do you guys think will win? Have any dark horses? Any headlines I missed?
Going with Speith...He already won once this year and has been consistently posting top 10 finishes...plus he is one of the hottest putters out there right now which is an advantage on Augusta's slick and challenging greens
Had my dad place a bet for me in Vegas a few weeks ago on Spieth. Wanted to place it last October when I was there based on his decent play and 2nd place last year, but I didn't have the conviction at the time, after that he wins 2 times in unofficial events, and in his last four starts he was in the final pairing on Sunday like 4 times with a win thrown in there.
I hope Tiger does well, I wish I was not at work, so I can watch it.
Definitely agree with you and @Romy...I guess that's easy for me to say now, but I didn't want to jinx him before. He has become my favorite player since I became friends with a good friend of his....I think it will be awesome to watch him, Patrick Reed, and Ricky Fowler over the next decade.
NIce work
Spieth is going to hopefully put this one away. 21 years old, wow.
only once in the last 31 years has the 18 hole leader closed the deal (2008, Immelman). not saying it's out of the realm of possibility, but there are still a lot of holes to suck it up on.
on the other hand, he's 2 under as I write, 5 strokes ahead of Els. I'd love to see him win personally, but I doubt it will happen.
I think Speith finishes top 5, but someone else comes up and takes the jacket away from him. wouldn't shock me to see Haas, Rose, McIlroy, Bubba, or Dustin (he's overdue).
did a pool this year, so far Haas and Rose are my best performers.
Hoping the great round Thursday carries him to the final pairing on Sunday, and hopefully he learns from last year's performance. If he has a decent cushion all weekend and plays just OKAY I still think he has a great shot. If he can finish -2 or better going into the weekend I think that puts him in a great place, unless there are surprise rounds of 67 or better coming out of nowhere.
67 is just 5 under. birdie the par 5's and one par 4 and you're there. someone will go low, the question now (he's dropped a shot since my last post) is can they go low enough? I agree, would be great to see him in the final group, but just like Adam Scott in 2011, that don't mean shit.
Only placed a $20 bet but at 10/1 that is basically pays for nearly a flight back to Vegas this year... so I will take it!
I'd like to see Sergio win a green jacket. He seems like a good dude to me and he's getting up there.
Looking at the last 4 years, 67s were posted on Saturday Sunday only 3-4 times for 3 of those years, except in 2011 where 7 67s or better were posted, and in 2010 6. So avoiding the blowup, (2011 80 on Sunday for Rory). Consistent play can succeed.
Jordan Spieth is ruining golf with all this one and done stuff.
Am i doing it right?
Thank you Jordan for paying for my next round of Golf lessons!
well looks like I was dead fucking wrong. first wire to wire win since the 70s, T-lowest round ever, 2nd youngest champion in his sophomore appearance, what a tournament, what a win.
any other week, Justin & Phil would've had enough to get it done. Jordan simply outplayed the field.
