 If you look at all the winners, and even those that contended at Augusta for the last 10-15 years, the modern Augusta is set up for bombers. Not that a Molinari or Zach Johnson can't win, it's just the odds are against them. So, considering this, I find it very difficult to look past Dustin Johnson, Keegan Bradley, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. Jason Day has some injury doubts and I'm not sure Adam Scott will successfully defend but time will tell. Outside bets for each way, maybe Jamie Donaldson or Gary Woodland.

 Hi mate!! I'd have to go with Rory & Adam!! Both playing the best out of anyone about now!! An outside bet Kuchar or Spieth.

Zach Johnson each way. I’m not a huge fan, but boy can he play golf. Is much better than when he won in 2007. Brilliant short game. Tough.

 Three to win only (Betfair) or place terms 1-6 (Paddy Power) for the 2014 Masters. All three have good current form, all have thrown in a bad round here and there this year which is still fine. Having played Augusta, it is a very quirky course, course form is paramount for me, all three selections have excellent course form including previous low rounds which tells me they CAN win here. 1/ Dustin Johnson 2/ Matt Kuchar 3/ Justin Rose

 Rory is my tip Doc think he is shaping up nicely and should go well. Big dangers Dustin and Stenson.

tony		 Donal I think its Jason Day's time. Watched him closely at the Presidents Cup. Superb striker and really good on fast greens. For now Aussies rule!

keating		 Would you believe that I am going to my first Masters!! Pity that Tiger is out but Keegan Bradley is my pick. He is long and straight off the tee, an excellent long iron player and is now a top class wedge player. If he putts well I feel that he will do it.
I have a ticket for Tuesday to Sunday inclusive, it's like winning the lotto!!

 Rory seems to be in great form these days as does Dustin Johnson. Both are well able to reach the par 5's and are tough to stop when they get going. Seems to be only a matter of time before Jason Day wins a major and I'll go for Manassero as a bit of a dark horse.

 Hey my brother, I have a few picks I fancy Sergio has found some form recently, Justin Rose also golf course I feel suits him. My outsider is Steven Gallagher as he has balls and is afraid of nothing.

 I like Bubba Watson to win. Showed nice form a couple of weeks ago and I believe he can't wait to get to Augusta...
Pat Reed to place.

 Hi Doc!
The West. Good memories from there!
I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I can give my best guess.. Rory, if you pick him every week he will deliver at some point. Jason Day, good record and confidence high after the win. Freddie Couples, great record, still winning in seniors and Augusta must be his favourite week. I don’t think he can win but with a good week could top10. Adam Scott played some his best a few weeks ago and knows exactly what he needs to do there. His game in good shape. Phil Mickelson because the course suites lefties pretty good, many tee shots are easier for left handers. He still wants it badly and I hope he does well, it would be good for the tourney. Hard to pick any other European besides Rory, no one has shown any form lately. But fingers crossed for the Euros. Some might surprise us!


And finally, my own tips video.  Best of luck with your favourites!

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 two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

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 Montgomeri
