Think Woods will come back fighting? How do you think Mickelson and Harrington will do, i've always liked Weir but i can't see him challenging!?

[Pacman]

I'm looking forward to this.

Can't see past Woods however Casey is playing well and more importantly putting well.

Harrington has been slow this season but we all know Paddy plays well when he needs to.

To close to call but should be a cracker.

I love the masters.

i'd like to see woods win it. i just want to see him beat the all-time tour wins and major championships record. although i feel harrington will win this one. if neither of these two, hopefully sergio garcia can finally step up and claim a majors win.

I'd love it if Harrington won but he can't win 3 in a row surely?

He's been playing gash as well.

I'd like to see Garcia win it as well, but it's brilliant when players smash records, just hoping Fed does it for tennis!

Anyone know what sort of form Mickelson is in? Ogilvy? Goosen? Stenson?

[Joe King]

Mickelson has been in good form winning two of the last five Masters. The main English threat comes from Casey of course with some impressive finishes recently.

Aye not in Masters though..as in the last few tournies how are they doing. Pacman?

[Pacman]

Anyone know what sort of form Mickelson is in? Ogilvy? Goosen? Stenson?

Mickleson was ****e last week but has won a couple already this season and could over take woods as number one if he wins a few more.

Ogilvy is a good bet, he had a top ten last week and has won twice already this year one being the world matchplay.

Goosen has been poor for a couple of years a top 10 finish would be good for him.

Stenson was in the top 3 or 4 last week in the states and if it blows like it should would be a good each way bet.

Thanks

How would you rate Garcia? Is he the best chance for a European to win it?

[Pacman]

Garcia's ball striking is ****ing brilliant. Take Woods out the equation and Garcia hits the ball tee to green better than anyone in the world in fact he drives it better than woods it's just he can't putt. He doesn't read greens well and he hasn't got much confidence with his putter. He's always got a chance if he putts well but he's been putting ****e all year so I doubt he'll be in the mix.

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

But he's defo Europes best chance

[Pacman]

But he's defo Europes best chance

No not really fella.

He's never won a Major and Europe have some great players.

Casey won last week in America for the first time and always seems to play well in the Masters. He's been playing well all year as well won in Europe and got beat in the final of the world matchplay.

Harrington you can never rule him out. He wasn't playing his best golf when he won the open again last year.

Donald is decent, Westwood if he putts well is as good as anyone and has got the bottle to take on Tiger. Stenson is a great player as well.

We've got loads who can win and don't rule our Mcilroy.

Well I meant to post in this thread a day or two ago to tip up the two I back every year - Jim Furyk and Tim Clark. Too late now.

Furyk is the clubhouse leader and Clark shot 68!

Some sort of proof, from last year's Masters thread...

Didn't have chance to get a bet on and I've missed the boat now. Bet Clark was about 150/1.
