Er what?! That's unreal. I'd be more than pleased with driver and 5 iron on the 10th Well, i'd be pleased with hitting the fairway, never mind the second shot

[Norbs]

I don't think he reached the green with his tee shots

Had a quick look at where I normally go pre Masters - I think Cantlay and DJ are bankers to place so put enough on them to cover the rest of the bets. Mid price - Finau and Matt Fitzpatrick. Oldies now fall into Rose and Casey - both normally are in the mix here.

A really good tipster gave below:

Our headline selection in the outright market is Jon Rahm for €50 each way at 9/1. (1/5 the odds the first 10 places).

It has nothing to do with skimming a ball across the water and making a hole in one on 16 in practice, but I really believe Spain's Jon Rahm is the most exciting player in world golf. He can follow in the footsteps of Seve Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal, and Sergio Garcia in winning the Masters for his country. Rahm is a proven winner, twice at the DP World Tour Championship, twice at the Irish Open, and recently on the US PGA Tour, at the Memorial Tournament and the difficult BMW Championship. He is a brilliant driver of the golf ball and his game has few weaknesses. The 26-year-old has curbed a suspect temperament and on his last two visits to the Masters, he's finished 4th and 9th. He is ready to become a major champion and I think he will win this week.

Rahm is very tempting. 9s is pretty short, though I guess it's a good price if he wins

Yeah they're his second shots no? Pitching wedge 2nd shot on the 10th is something else

[Pablo]

Yep it's the clubs he was using for his second shot on each hole. Ridiculous but it was only in practice and he may not be as aggressive when it comes to the actual round? Will be fascinating to see anyway.

He was hitting tv towers 385 yards away on the fly apparently and had to move becuase of it.

[Norbs]

[Pablo]

Yep on the driving range he had to aim for the trees over the back right of the driving range, as the TV centre, situated behind the driving range, was hittable for him

I've backed Rahm and Finau.

This is a tasty group out at 12.33pm.

Jon Rahm (Spa), Bryson DeChambeau (US), Louis Oosthuizen

[Pablo]

Wow yeah what a group that is. Got loads of work on, but fully intending to watch this non-stop from 12:30 anyway

[Shaggy]

I'm downing tools very shortly

DJ is a banker IMO - went for him and your two and a small bet on a couple of others

I'd like to back about 10 of em tbh.

I could never feel mega confident about DJ. Just expect him to choke on the Sunday.
