I think Hatton is a seriously good shout although Rahm and dj stand out for me ...westie always shows well round here so I think he would be great value for a top 5..

If you managed to catch any of the Masters preview show last night you would have seen Rahm on the range being coached by Olazabal. The presenters were saying that they just hoped he doesn't take what he was being taught out onto the course on Thursday. I would have to agree with them.....
Cheers for settling that out @supaclive was a good read.
Ive looked away from the faves for a bit of ew value and done Hatton at 22/1 and Wolff at 30/1. Doubting myself now though, Hatton has had 10 Masters rounds and only had 1 round under par (70). And what with it being Wolff’s Debut.
I may add Patrick Reed at 28/1 but ideally wanted to add a higher price 50/1 shot so toying with Champ / Casey / Oosthuizen

fear Bryson will win it quite comfortably though
I think both pretty sound bets. Hatton seems a different player at the moment so hopefully his history won't go against him. Serious iron player and that's key at Augusta.
Wolff hits it a mile and if everyone is saying Bryson has such an advantage thanks to his distance then Wolff isn't far behind. I wonder if no patrons will help those first time players more than in usual years. I like Champ for same reasons. although probably a bit more hit and miss than Wolff.
I don't want Bryson to win at all, but I am absolutely fascinated to watch him today.

I'm going the other way - I think Augusta will bite him big time and I'm not sure he's a good enough putter without his green book.
Seriously thinking of backing him to miss the cut at around 7/1 - the same price or thereabouts for him to win! I know what offers the better value.

I am keen to see if he puts the extra long driver in the bag. I listened to a couple of podcasts and he kept saying he was ruling it out and then went to the range for 2 hours to hit it, then took it out on the course... with just a wedge and a putter.
I mean, you've got a supremely talented golfer who then decided to add 40lbs of muscle and bulk, keep his flexibility and has transformed his game. 42 yards longer off the tee than he was 2 years ago.
It's just whether his body can keep up and not break - or has he decided 3-5 years, win 4 + majors and be happy with his lot.
I've slowly been adding to my initial list, so now i have gone a bit extreme lol my list is: Snedeker ew Kisner ew Dechambeau outright/hotshots Reed first round Finaue first round ew Lowry ew Lashley ew Mclroy ew Rose ew Champ ew
Must have a sweat with a few of those haha but part of the fun, didn't realise so many as added Rory this morning at a special price through a FB friend 14/1, £15 ew. Think total stake is about £50 roughly
Rain is forecast for all 4 days so may suit the European players more as they are more used to such conditions
More likely to favour the big hitters more as the softer ground won't allow the ball to kick on so much. Makes the fairways seem bigger so they can take out the big stick more often!
Weather looks nice out there now. Namby pamby players.....
And I do have up laugh when they say the fairways are "soft". Soft is when the ball plugs & there is no run or bounce. Something all weekend players experience in the UK during the winter. I've played courses with casual water all over the faiway & the ball aquaplaning when hitting a fairway wood.
Annoys me that Sky coverage doesn't properly start until the evening.
That's down to Augusta and the coverage in the US though.
If you go on The Masters app, or website I think, you can favourite as many players as you want and you get to watch their shots as they happen. In between they're showing leaders and 'great shots'. So you can watch pretty much all over the course all day anyway.

This also, the app is brilliant you can follow your own players and watch every shot (not live) but really impressed a free app for those who dont have sky
Bryson to win 9/1. Wanted to find a 'win by X shots' market like @AFKABartram but couldn't see one on Betfair. Think I placed my bets in-play so maybe I was too late for that.

This is a joke... Pitching wedge in from 495 yards
