Mostly About the Masters ……and why not!
Who will be wearing the green jacket?
The Masters Is Upon Us and we all look forward to it!
Tiger Woods from nowhere to Masters Favorite after a few good showings.
100/1 not that long ago but after a runner up finish at the Valspar Championship and a T-5 at The Arnold Palmer Invitational, Tigers stock shot up faster than the Marijuana stocks on the TSE! I’m guessing that both go up in a puff of smoke!
I’m thinking that Tiger’s recent play will inspire the cream to rise to the top! I’m not sure that he will be one of them.
Little Dog’s Top 5 for The Masters are: Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose.
Big Dog’s Top 5 are: Dustin Johnson Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Paul Casey
Golf Digest’s Masters Dark Horses
- Patrick Cantlay – Under the radar and I suspect that he will stay there.
- Tommy Fleetwood – like this dark horse
- Russell Henley – solid player but none of my money on him
- Matt Kucher – love this guy, probably just another top 10
- Alex Noren – good dark horse maybe some Pernilla inspiration will get him over the top!
- Thomas Pieters – On the slide in 2018, Augusta National not a great place to try to recover
- Ian Poulter – like him but best showing will likely be colorful pants
- Charl Swarrtzel – this would be somewhat of a shocker
- Henrik Stenson – never underestimate this guy
Let’s welcome back to the Masters – Ian Poulter! He was planning to be there as a commentator but he is much happier being there as a player after defeating Beau Hossler on the 1st playoff hole of the Houston Open.
Congratulations Pernilla Lindberg the putting machine! The final round of last week’s ANA Championship might have been one of the most exciting in the history of the LPGA! At one time there must have been 10 players within a shot of the lead! Lindberg was far from the best round of the day, Sunday. She came in with a 3 shot lead which quickly evaporated. Down the stretch and into the playoff she made putt after putt and not many of the tap in variety to hang in, finally taking the ANA title and the infamous leap into Poppie’s Pond. In the end she defeated 19 time winner Inbee Park. Jennifer Song was the 3rd member of the playoff contingent exiting after the 3rd playoff hole, also a non winner to date – her time will come.
It was a long time coming for Pernilla, happy for her to make it to the winners circle. I know where I am going for putting lessons! J.
