    Masters - Who's Gonna Bring It Home???

    Let's have a few predictions on the top three at this year's Masters. At this point, Mike Weir does appear to be a good pick for winning the Masters or even finishing in the top 10. He's been peppering his scores with boggies, and double boggies and his last round scoring average of late is soaring. Hopefully, he will be able to turn it around in the next few days. For that matter, Tiger and Phil, both of whom have been equally suspect of late. That said, here are my picks (keep in mind that when I pick 'em defeat is just around the corner): Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and John Daly. Now that is really sticking out my neck. Anyone else care to do the same?

    I agree that Singh and Verplank are also very good picks. VJ, though, has been a bit off his game. Verplank, on the other hand, is putting like a magician. Not only is he number one in putting, but so to in birdie average and par breakers. More than that, he's 10th in greens in regulation and, on those few occasions when he dumps it into the sand, he gets up and down 70% of the time.

    I think that had to do more with the proportion of lefties vs righties on the tour. I'll go with the Par 3jinx, I didn't pick Harrington

    Now that's a "jinx" I want to see busted!

    And speaking of jinxes, I should say I think Annika will be in the top 25 as well.

    Who's taking the masters?

    Well it's that time of year again so lets hear everybodies picks on who is going it win the masters. And for fun, who is going to have a really bad masters.

    My Picks:
    Winner - Another lefty Phil Mickelson
    Bad - Tiger Woods

    Does anybody ekse think that they should look into why Tiger is still number 1 in the world. I knmow he is great, but you should have to be great all the time if you want to retain number 1 status.

    Have fun with the picks!

    Player rankings is not subjective it based on performance in tournements over the last ? (number escapes me) months. Tiger is #1 because he played well enough during that period to warrant it.

    I find it a little stupid though that he can play in one fifth the number of tournaments as Mickelson (and poorly I might add) and still be number one. Doesn't the sheer number of events played have anything to do with it?

    Masters Picks:
    Mickelson
    Harrington
    J. Kelly

    Dan
