The Masters

***greenlex*** · 04-04-2016 11:37 AM

Masters time. Who's winning?

***BroxburnHibee*** · 04-04-2016 02:38 PM

Honestly can't see beyond Jason.

Course is set up for a big hitter who can putt well.

***Benny Brazil*** · 04-04-2016 06:25 PM

Jason Day would be my bet - although have sneaky feeling that Rory might just find his form.

***Golden Bear*** · 06-04-2016 04:14 PM

This year I've avoided the favourites (Day, Spieth, McIlroy, Scott and Bubba) and my bets have been placed on probably the next tier on the bookies list:-

Rickie Fowler to win (18/1)

Louis Oosthuizen (each way 35/1)

Charl Schwartzel (each way 40/1)

Hideki Matsuyama (each way 40/1.) I think this could be a particularly good bet. His current form is good and in last year's tournament he shot a last round of 66 and finished about 8th overall)

You can't bet on everyone but I also fancied a wee punt on Andy Sullivan at 150/1 and because I never, he'll probably go very well!

Can't wait until 7pm tomorrow night when the live broadcast starts on Sky although there will probably be "red button" coverage of certain holes prior to that. Bring it on - I love the Masters week.

***easty*** · 06-04-2016 04:17 PM

I'm going Koepka 66/1 and Mickelson 18/1, Skybet paying 8 places.

***Godsahibby*** · 06-04-2016 07:06 PM

I quite fancy Koepke as well, been playing well, can hit a ball, does well on par 5's, played a few times round Augusta now as well.

***Carheenlea*** · 06-04-2016 07:10 PM

Really looking forward to this years Masters. Tricky to predict this year so going for an E/W on Brandt Snedecker at 55-1, and after playing his home course Esker Hills last weekend, and seeing all his good luck messages and club events to coincide, an E/W on Shane Lowry at 100-1.

Brandt leading the Par 3 tourney.

I turned it on for a minute and saw Gary Player's hole in one. Amazing stuff. I think the Tv commentator said he's now 80 but does 1200 sit ups a day!

***PercyHibs*** · 06-04-2016 09:36 PM

I've had a few bets

Phil 20s
Fowler 20s
DJ 20s
garcia 80/1 (heart leading the head)
Andy Sullivan 210/1
Westwood 320/1
Ernie 570/1

a winner there would be a bonus. Absolutely love it. I just hope no one runs away with it

I suppose at that age it takes a few goes to get one right!

**LustForLeith** · 07-04-2016 11:13 AM

Bubba to win
Cabrera top 20
Bryson to debutant (famous last words but watch this guy go)
Hoffman top first round score
Willet top Englishman

Just watched a lot of the par 3 challenge. What a great event, some big wags amongst the golfers for holes in ones!

***greenlex*** · 07-04-2016 04:49 PM

The bets are placed. Day on the nose. E/W on Stenson,Snedeker, Reed (hes started well

and Cabrera Bello.

**LustForLeith** · 07-04-2016 05:06 PM

Just the start and a long way to go. But I'm currently having one of those "why didn't I back Jordan Speith" moments that I was dreading

**Smartie** · 07-04-2016 05:14 PM

I'm going to make my bets in-play after seeing how the first day goes.

You can't win it in the first day but you can lose it so I'll often pick someone who is sitting in a fairly threatening position just off the top.

Adam Scott has won me a good few quid already this year but he can be torture to watch. He can be playing brilliantly and produce a double or triple bogey out of nowhere so he has certainly shredded my nerves at times.

Day and Scott would be the favourites for me before it really gets going though.

I'm watching on the red button coverage. Jordan is going through Amen Corner and is giving it the big fist pumps already. He's up for this one!

**CB_NO3** · 07-04-2016 05:37 PM

Scott, Stenson and Matsuyama EW all on Sky Bet who are paying 8 places. Day to win outright are my bets.

**CB_NO3** · 07-04-2016 06:08 PM

Fowler has had a horrid start.

That reminds me of Rory. Capable of a shot of magic and a putt of horror

***greenlex*** · 07-04-2016 06:28 PM

Els 7 putts from 3 feet for a ten. WTF!!!!

My £5 win has been too much for him. Best look for another bet to recoup my loss.

**Treadstone** · 07-04-2016 06:54 PM

What's the under/overs mention of Ryder cup captaincy win by Monty?

***BroxburnHibee*** · 07-04-2016 07:02 PM

Jason 3 under after 6.

Just seen it......horrific

***Carheenlea*** · 08-04-2016 07:43 AM

Painful to watch such a popular player suffer like this. He talked after about how he can knock 100 three footers in on the practice green, but out on the course it is just a different feeling.
