Horns247 Board

...numerous big names will be in contention...but I'm taking TW by 2+ shots going away over G McDowell, B Haas, B Watson, and/or J Rose in contention

I'm rooting for Rory to win it after that epic collapse last year.

The Masters is a bit odd for me this year.
For those that don't know Jim Mandich, he was an All-American TE at Michigan who was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
He would go to the Masters every year and always have these great stories.
Last year he passed away from cancer so this will be the first time I can remember not getting to hear a story.

I think Rory got screwed with his tee time. The course will be a little rough by the time he comes up.

Just to add a little more.......this is Tiger's 18th appearance. In the previous 17, he has 4 wins and 12 top 10s, Pretty f'ing fantastic considering two of those appearances were as an amateur. So we're talking 12 top 10s in 15 appearances as a pro. Uh yeah, pretty safe pick despite not winning in the last 7.

I'll take the field

I remember when people were taking bets and picking tiger or the field.

I am a Lefty guy and he has been playing well and will definitly be in the mix. I know Tiger will be in the middle of it as well, but wonder if his putting will hold up. got to have an old fart in the mix to make it great for all, so I will say VIjay gives it a run this weekend. I would like to see Couples as well, but don't know if his back will hold up.

If we are going to put an old guy in the mix, I think it will be Olazobal (SP?) or Clarke.
