Poll question: Who is going to win the Master's?
Hard to bet against Tiger, but I think Ogilivy will win this year. Not that I would bet although Ogilivy is going off 18 to 1.

1. I voted for Tiger Woods, but Padraig Harrington has won 50%
of the last 6 majors...

:wow:

2. Seems like a good fellow also. He's going for the Paddy Slam.

It will all depend on the putter.

"It looks like a miracle... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"

But some free drivers would be amusing.

12. I just don't think he has the putter to do it.
Fantastic ball striker though.

31. He doesn't have the stones to do it.
Sergio drives me up the wall. Just hit the damn ball already. If he played with Bernard langer they might actually end up playing backward. Yes, I would hit into them and make them do something about it.

6. Greg Norman
But watch for the back-9 surge from Fuzzy Zoeller on Sunday to make it exciting.

10.  Raymond Floyd would be mine.

Wouldn't it be awesome for a guy in his 60s to win the Masters?

15. Tiger
He's got something to prove, and his game is coming around nicely. He manages the course better than anyone and that's what you have to do at Augusta. If he can keep it in the fairways he's golden.

16. He looked a lot better at Bay Hill.
He was really spraying that driver at the Accenture.

19. Yeah that's what I meant about keeping it in the fairway
Everything else in his game looks good, he even got his putts to start falling again. Then again, the rough at Augusta isn't too bad considering it's a major. The real challenge in that course is usually the greens.

20. He never has hit his driver that accurately, so long it doesn't matter though.
He's incredibly strong. I can't believe how big his upper body got while rehabing the knee.

27. It's incredibly stupid to bet against a healthy/hot Tiger, but I did it anyway
and chose Ogilvy, just to be rebellious. Maybe because I'm built like GO and model my swing after him. He's really been the hottest player overall since the beginning of the year, so it can't be that bad of a choice...

28. watching the coverage of the Par 3 contest
Edited on Wed Apr-08-09 03:46 PM by merh
and the play of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicholas and Gary Player, I've lost interest in the real tournament. I don't think they can top Nicholas, Palmer and Player's fist bump after Player's second tee shot hit the green and rolled in the hole.
