Other than Tiger who would you assume would be a strong candidate to win Augusta?

I like Adam Scott to win if he is over his fever. What do you think?

If not Tiger then its wide open.Any of the guys listed and some can play well enough to win.I like the look of the little Argie Romero (he hits it miles and is a good putter)as a live outsider but from the list I take,

Justin Rose! he looks fitter than ever and is Europes number 1! Just as long as he putts well enough
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

I'd like to see Justin Rose in contention as well. I hope that we'll see many from this poll jockeying for the lead come Sunday instead of someone like Woods running away with it.

Geoff has been playing extremely well recently. If he keeps it up, he'll definitely have a shot! He gets my vote for "Other than Tiger"

Of those listed I chose Mickelson only because he has the short game and he has played well there of late. Ogilvy would be a close second -- his game seems to be on right now.

There's no doubt denying that Geoff Ogilvy is the hottest player on tour (besides tiger)

I picked none my two dark horses are Freddy "Boom Boom" Couples. I was watching the 2006 Masters highlights and the shell houston open this weekend, and he inspired me, he has the length if the putting and the back can handle the weekend I think he has a good chance. My next pick is another oldie Bernard Langer, he is by for the best player on the championship tour, he showed as that he still has that magic.

Alright, to my fellow Cink voter. Hello.

Augusta National is not the type of place where you can be spraying your driver left and right and have a descent shot of competing for the championship. Therefore, IMO, Ogilvy is out.

dark horse, Boo Weekly. That guy is awesome. I have no reasons as to why he will win, but I am just a big fan of his.

JB Holmes is really playing well..A guy that has a game built for Augusta I think is Boo Weekley...as evideced by the win he had in the tight Harbour Town golf course last year...He is known for the different sound he makes at impact from hitting it really solid so i could see him winning because he can play southern style courses well

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."
