5 Outsiders To Watch: 2013 US Masters Betting Preview and Tips

You can debate until the cows come home whether Rory, Phil, Adam or Tiger will don the green jacket at Augusta. But I’ve taken a trip outside the 50/1 mark to see if I could find some each way value among the long shots.

Peter Hanson 80/1

peter-hanson_afp_2381299b_thumb[1]The Swede has three top-10’s in the last two years in the Majors with a closest of tied third here last year. From a wonderful position, his final round of 73 was the highest of the top 10 finishers and left Peter two back of Bubba and Louis. Hard to believe this will only be his third Masters, but good form of late make him hard to ignore.

Henrik Stenson 50/1

henrik-stenson_1400217c_thumb[2]A top ten at Arnie’s Bay Hill followed by a tied second in Houston, Henrik Stenson is in better form for this year’s Masters than ever before. This will be his eighth visit to Augusta and his mixed record includes three missed cuts and four top 40’s. Last year Stenson was 50th in Driving Accuracy and 113th in greens in regulation; this year he tops both stats.

Angel Cabrera 90/1

angel-cabrera-220x213Only three wins in his career and two of those were in Majors! Angel is what you might call a Masters specialist, with one win (2009), four top 10’s and never outside the top 40 for the last seven years. Very solid if unspectacular so far on the PGA Tour this season, El Pato had his best result of the year to date last time out in Houston finishing 16th.

Stewart Cink 125/1

stewart_cink_funny-17752Seemed to find something special in Houston last time out with a best of the season tied sixth finish. It’s a reflection of a much better year for the 2009 Open Champion. Tied for third in the 2008 Masters, but Cink’s record since has been forgettable. Can he keep his recent good form going and realize his each way potential?

KJ Choi 66/1

KJ ChoiMissed the cut in 2012 but top 10’d the two years previous. Choi’s recent best was a tied fourth in 2010 which included some back nine heartbreak. What makes KJ play well as Augusta is his straight driving, his ability to hit greens in regulation from distance and his brilliance from bunkers.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
