O/T The Masters

Forgot it was coming up. Who do we fancy for it this year?

Great story of the first European to win it here. The incomparable Seve.

Bubba Watson will win it.

 

A sport as boring as your personality, old bean.

I should have known that a pro-Hull Tigers man such as you would like golf.

 

Every year for the past 10 years or so I have wanted Westwood or Donald to win their first Major. I think both have struggled to cope with the pressures of being number 1 in the world. Hopefully now that is far from the case they can play with a bit more freedom! Would love to see one of them do it although a long shot!

If I was betting maybe Stenson.

 

Adam Scott @ 9/1 hopefully sinking the winning put late on Sunday to round off a great day?

 

every time woods has not showed an Irishman has won it ..

go on rory

 

I've got money on Westwood( 50's) as my long shot and Stenson(33's) and Kuchar(22's) as my more realistic shouts.

 

40/1 Mickelson? Worth a pop Carmine?

 

I've put my money where my mouth is! On Stenson e/w at 40/1, he is always there or thereabouts!

 

well worth it ..

every even numbered year since 2000 he has finished 5th or above

 

Im sticking a bit on rose and a bit on rory ... just a hunch

 

Defo but not for me.

I hate him, it's his hair.

And his voice.

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than want that cretin to win.

 

hehe i knew this.

Heartwarming vid surely this makes you like him and is oh so ****ing hot wife!!

Punching well above his( considerable) weight is Fat Phil.

What the f**k is she doing with the multi millionaire golfer?


I bet she plays away when he's on tour.

You can tell.

 

She's blonde. Bet Tigers done her, hence the hatred of each other.

 

It's nailed on Tiger has been there.

And Monty.

 

WTF has Langer done to his gnashers?

He could get a job as a pie crimper at Mackman's with those bastards.

 

Westwood in that shirt!! doesnt deserve to win

 

Looks like a bin man.

I'm fed up of the Fat Phil love in already and what's all this bollocks about 'being aggressive' on the course?

My mate Mad Bob got aggressive once at Ainsworth Park during a round.

He nutted someone.

That's being aggressive, not picking a 3 iron instead of a 4 iron.

Ponces.

American Bill Haas fires a 68 during his first round to lead the Masters in Augusta by one shot from defending champion Adam Scott, Bubba Watson and Louis Oosthuizen.

The 31-year-old was four-under for the round, including birdies at the 4th, 13th and 18th, on a difficult day for scoring under a hot Georgia sun.

Tournament favourite Rory McIlroy hit a one-under 71 and said the course was the toughest he has seen on a Thursday.
