I am day-to-day.
Today? Matt Kuchar.
Bill Haas. For no particular reason.
The Masters is my favorite tournament of the year, followed by the Players. I am rooting for Phil as well but have a soft spot for Freddie Couples....
My favorite international player is Miquel Jimenez so if it can’t be USA then I’ll take the Spaniard!
Rickie Fowler
Kuchar is playing well but he got shocked in the Houston Open last week by that rookie Aussie who chipped in on the first playoff hole and beat Kutch, but just as important he received an invitation to the Masters. This is what we need, more Aussies at the Masters, lol.
at 1000:1, it might be worth putting $10 on Olazabal - the streaky Spaniard.
He knows how to close...as opposed to that other Castillian that tends to choke...”something-or-other” Garcia.
McIlroy plays his best on a soft(er) course. I think the course at Augusta is going to be harder than he likes, and that it will hurt his game. Love watching him drive the ball, though.
Can someone explain how Tiger Woods is still the #1 player?
Or are they not referring to Golf?
Given the sycophant nature of the LSM, I’m surprised Tiger Wood isn’t favored.
With a nice touch, the Masters has broken out news and scoring for each entrant this year, so when you want to follow Bill Haas at any round, just click HERE.

I’m pulling for Phil also, hope he can put it all together.
He had back surgery last week so he's not playing.
Same here about Freddie...
I like Jason Dufner, hubby has Jordan Speith winning it.
As long as it's not Sergio!!!!
That’s why I’m leaning toward Kuchar...today.
How often does someone shut-down another player at the Masters with a “perfect shot”?
Last week, Kuchar got beat by a perfect chip...I don’t see that type of killer shot consistently being made at Augusta. It happens but it does so inconsistently.
I’ll weigh in again tomorrow with another thought (like you guys want to hear my opinion!).
Maybe it is Woody Austin’s year? he doesn’t play well until later in the season, but, who knows?
Maybe Walker can keep his stellar play going...?
Maybe it is time for some Euro-weenie to stand out?
Another Aussie win, I’m not convinced.
Wide open field. Oh, and Phil M. won’t need to pay for the dry-cleaning of his sport coat this year.
Can someone explain to me how Tiger Woods can still be the #1 player?
Unless they are not talking about Golf.
6 wins last year. But he won't be #1 after Sunday....
