    Hi guys. Everyone looking forward to the Masters starting on thursday?

    Ill start off with two questions. Who does everyone want to win and who do they think will win.

    Cheers

    Would love Rory but if I had to place a bet, Nick Watney, in form and I think he was top 10 last year. I love the Masters.

    BBC or Sky?

    Ah nice one. I would love an Englishman to win for obvious reasons. But Rory, Villegas or Jimenez would be my other choices. I feel that Kim will do well this year.
    I love the BBC coverage however there isn't enough of it!
    This is personally my favorite major of the year.

    Mine too. Easily. I think it's because it's always at the same course so you get to know the holes really well. I will be watching BBC, this is probably the only sport you could argue they cover better than Sky. Plus, unlike the US Open and PGA which can finish very late, we know for a fact the Masters will be over by midnight. More or less.

    BBC have only got highlights at the weekend, so unfortunately you (and me) won't see much of it.

    I'd love to see Westwood or any of the Celts win.

    PS. On SKY News Sprotsline this morning they said "its the first masters for ages where Tiger hasn't been odds-on to win"!
    God, I hate it when reporters use sporting or sports-betting terms incorrectly <grr>.
    Tiger has NEVER been odds-on pre-tournament. In fact noone has!

    I'd like to see Westwood or McDowell win it, but suspect that this tournament could be the beginning of Woods' return to dominance.

    Would like one of the Irish lads to win it obviously but if I was betting on it I'd probably be looking at Nick Watney or Hunter Mahan.

    Luke Donald won the Par 3 competition last night so that puts him out!

    McIlory is collapsing. Triple bogey at the 10th. Tiger is storming back into contention. If I was a betting man, i'd go for Tiger now.

    Complete implosion by McIlroy now. He's playing like me.

    He's blown it. There's going to be a play-off at the end and it's going to be good. It's so difficult to guess the winner now. One of about six could win now.

    I can't watch it anymore, how did he three put from there? And why was it not shown? Anyone but an Aussie and I will be half satisfied now.

    Today's play had been truly amazing. I couldn't honestly believe that McIlory had imploded like he did. Luke Donald is on -10 so he's still in with a big shout. Whatever happens now, it's going to be an amazing end to the Masters.

    That's it then. Charl Schwartzel has won the 2011 Masters. What a final day's play. Twists and turns all the way. It promised so much for Rory McIlroy and delivered so little. It's a shame for McIlroy but in the end it looks like the pressure got to him. A truly amazing end to the Masters. Congratulations to Charl Schwartzel. He held his nerve and produced some excellent golf.

    Great final day of golf. Happy for Luke Donald to get tied fourth after he found the water at 12. Feel sorry for Rory McIlroy but congratulations to Charl Schwartzel.

    Can't believe Rory did a Lewis Hamilton! Completely choked!
