Ogilvy...

+1. He's a cool customer that won't get rattled.

Fairways and Greens.

Anyone other than Tiger Please!!!!

I hope he doesn't make the cut so that the TV guys will cover someone other than Tiger on the weekend.

My guess is Bubba Watson. I think you need to be a long hitter who is having a great week. I can't see a shorter player like a Mike Weir dominating.

I won't watch Saturday or Sunday if Tiger is on the leader board simply because when he is on the leader board, he is all you will get to see and frankly I don't like watching him. I can't stand arrogant prima donnas; give me someone who cares more about me as the spectator than he does about himself. I watch golf for entertainment, and not to worship one player.

I cant beleive that Padraig Harrington does not appear on your list of possible winners you have I assume heard of the Open well he won it and is a pretty good player .

After Tiger, he is the next on my list of contenders. He is playing well right now and has a couple top-10 finishes at Augusta (including last year). Now that he has a major victory behind him, he will be able to handle the pressure down the stretch better than some of the other contenders.

Other possibilities are Stuart Appleby and Geoff Ogilvy. Also, don't sleep on Zach Johnson. I don't think he will win it again, but he will be in contention.

Paul Casey, Fred Couples or Ogilvy? ...smart money may be on Johnson Wagner- he looks like he will become a fantastic player and sounds like his attitude is good too.

i think bubba can contend if he keeps his cool and keeps a strong mental game. he seems like he thinks too much and gets a temper when he's playing bad and it affects his performance, just an observation.

There is no way Bubba Watson can keep it together mentally on a Sunday at Augusta. That's even if he can make it to the weekend. The talent is there to do great things, but he needs to do a lot of maturing on and off the course.

From what I've seen today it looks as though they've had plenty of rain. Should mean that it plays very long, so whoever wins will have to be a big hitter. That probably rules Donald out for me. My money would be on Scott or Mickelson (excluding Tiger...)

I also went with Scott, but Ogilvy would be my other choice. Goosen looks good of late and unfortunately you can never rule out Phil or Vijay.

I picked Sabbatini, and JB Holmes to be behind tiger in the masters..Rory looked pretty good in the Par 3 today..i hope its him and woods sunday

"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."

Villegas 150/1 eachway
Jerry Kelly 200/1 eachway (seems a good guy off the course)

and
Ogilivy 20/1

At least you got part of it right. They will both be behind Tiger. They will just be behind a few other guys as well.
