Tick Tock... Tick Tock

Here we go!!! We are now inside the 12 hour mark and tomorrow morning The King and The Golden Bear will kick things off as The Masters Honorary Starters.

At 7:50 a.m. group 1 will tee off and I will be glued to the flat screen as much as possible.

There are not many things better than lying on the couch and watching The Masters. This is a television event that you can actually sleep during , yet somehow your subconscious is still watching.

I won't make any predictions on who will win but I'm sure we will see the usual suspects atop the leader board.

A young, unknown amateur will play well the into Saturday only to fizzle out on Sunday.

The foreigners will have a good showing and at least 1 will vie for the title on Sunday.

Thursday and Friday will have some unknown pro in the top 3 but he will be lucky to finish in the top 33.

Some old timer will shoot 79/85 and miss the cut.

Several well named pros will also miss the cut and at least one will have a quad bogey or higher on a hole.

Someone in contention on Sunday will drop it in the drink on the back nine.

Ok... I will make 1 prediction... Tiger wins it... if not the person who does will be a first time Masters winner.

Here is who I like....

1) Camilo Villegas
2) Anthony Kim
3) Lee Westwood
4) Paul Casey
5) Tiger Woods

Here is who I don't like...

1) Padraig Harrington
2) Phil Mickelson
3) Ernie Els
4) Rory Mcllroy
5) Sergio Garcia

Dark Horse(s)...

1) Freddy Couples
2) David Duval
3) Bernhard Langer

Good luck!!!

  2. Buck your picks are looking pretty spot on...Except for Phil, but I will preface that by saying there is WAAAYYYYY too much golf left for me to say anything about his round today. I would love to see Tom Watson and Freddy stay around the lead for the weekend, could make for some super exciting TV.
