Icon3 With a little over a month to go lets hear some early Masters picks - March 2nd, 2009

Just put a group of contenders on who you think will be at the top of the leader board and a group of dark horses who you think will pop out of nowhere and be in contention. Also put your predictions on terms of blow ups

i would say tiger is going to win and rory mcilroy is my dark horse. I also have another feeling of a phil blow up.

Phil will either win...or miss the cut.

Greg Norman will make a top 10 showing (maybe top 5)

Tiger will contend...but not win.

McIlroy will have a good 1st & 2nd round...then blow up in round 3.

And for the ones that I'll get laughed at about:

Fred Couples will be a contender (at least top 5) and just might win again (Freddie says he feels great)

Boo Weekly will finish top 5......( the Masters Board wouldn't allow a "Boo" to win under ANY circumstances )

My predictions are identical except that I feel positive of a poor showing from Phil. I really like the Boo prediction.

Hype or not, it's tough not to think about Ogilvy after this last week. He was extremely precise with his irons and made damn near everything he looked at on some awfully tough greens.

1. Geoff Ogilvy
Excellent form recently and is tough when it counts

2. Mr Woods
No recent form to go on but after all he is who he is

3. Padraig Harrington
I've seen him chopping around on the European Tour and missing a lot of 3 footers, it'll be out of his system by the time Arnie opens proceedings and he'll be ready to go

4. Aaron Baddely
Absolute circus freak with the putter and there is enough room for him to spray it everywhere off the tee


5. Bubba Watson
#1 in driving distance & T12 in putting, nice stats for Augusta

Blow Ups
I reckon Phil might rack up a big number due to his pigheadedness as he so often does. He's convinced of his own eternal divinity and therefore thinks he can play any shot he envisions so at some point he will proceed to dump 3 or 4 balls in to Rae's Creek in an attempt to validate to us once and for all that he is god. Personally I'd rather he tried to prove his immortality by playing in traffic whilst wearing a blindfold but hey that's just me.
