The Masters - always my signal that summer is here! One of the sporting highlights of the year for me.
I can't not back Oosthuizen but I believe that Rory will win it in a canter - easily the best player at the moment based on form. But I won't back hm at that price.
None of the top 11 in the current world rankings have won the Masters. The Masters is different and always throws up a good story. I love it. An obvious point is that we all know the course and the holes but obvious or not that is what makes it special. The Open may the more prestigious title but The Masters is the best for the TV viewer.
Rose has been very close and has best record over last six years by far.
Speith is woefully out of form and Koepka since going on a diet has lost his distance and timing.
Apparently
he’s been piling the pounds back on since The Players (now he’s had his
swimsuit photos taken). It may be too early for him to peak but for someone who
only really turns up at majors, they’re decent odds.
My
podcasts are all American. My favourite is ‘No Laying Up’ who offer a humorous
take each week and have big name guests. ‘The Clubhouse With Shane Bacon’ who’s
a golf nerd and seems a really nice, ‘swell’ guy. An old Masters preview with
Gary Player is well worth up https://player.fm/series/the-clubhouse-with-shane-bacon
I’m
looking forward to Club Pro Guy’s pod later. He’s a mock failed Mexican
mini-tour star teaching in Kansas who has to hide his face and voice from the
cartel. He has a blog, Twitter, Youtube and occasional podcast if you like parody
and self-deprecation
The highest ranked golfer in the world today to have won a Green Jacket is 43 year old Tiger Woods and that was in 2005! 2005 -Tony Blair was PM, we hadn't won the Ashes for 18 years and Charlton were in the Prem!
Lyle has a good record in the Par 3. One of only three Masters champions to have won it twice. Sam Snead and Tom Watson the others. Watson won it last year.
My bet on Wallace at 110-1 now wasted as he has won the par 3 competition.
You’re safe mate, he lost in a playoff to Sandy Lyle
Wallace won the playoff
Apologies. My bad. However in my defence the preview programme on bbc last night reported that Lyle had won it and even showed him being presented with the trophy. That must have been old footage from Lyle’s previous par 3 victory. They bigged up the fact that he’d now won it three times. Ho hum. Or did I just dream that as I was half asleep watching it? Old age y’know.
My bet on Wallace at 110-1 now wasted as he has won the par 3 competition.
I think the 110/1 says more than him winning the Par 3 comp...
He’s an improver who has the driving ability to be in with a chance. Probably not a winner this year, but e/w at 110-1 is a good bet if he gets off to a solid start. I’ve also got him at 150-1 , but Fowler will win a major soon, so he’s my main bet.
