Official 2010 MASTERS TOURNAMENT discussion & preds topic

[RWG]

Here is how it will work!

I will post the field of players in two groups.  You pick two players from the Group A, and three players from the Group B, thus you are picking 5 players.  You can pick the same player as those who have picked before you.  

You get 100 points if a player wins, 25 points if a player does not win but finishes in the top three, 10 points if he does not finish in the top 3 but finishes in the top 10, and 1 point per player who makes the cut.  Got it?  Sweet!

Group A:

I'd like Boss's advice on these bets if he sees this in time;


T. Woods 1st Round Score

1001 OVER     71.5 Strokes  -140   
1002 UNDER     71.5 Strokes  +127

He usually has a terrible first round.  I want to bet under because I like him, but over -140 seems pretty good.




T. Woods 1st Hole Score (1st Round)

1003 Birdie or better     +602      
1004 Par                  -175   
1005 Bogey or worse     +270

Birdie at +600 just seems so epic, though he bogeys this hole a lot in big moments (so does Phil) so +270 for a bogey looks hot.  I do have UNDER 3.5 total bogeys for his first round though so I don't want to contradict too much...

[Thiradell]

Group A: S. Stricker, R. Goosen
Group B: Zach Johnson, Bill Haas, Graeme McDowell

[RWG]

Predictions closed!

[Boss]

I think Tiger has this tournament in hand.. he usually wins shooting 70, so this is pretty insane.

[RWG]

Yep.  He played so f'ing solid too.  That could just as easily have been a 64... he lipped out 3 times and had a few hangers.

I'm hoping for Woods grand slam.  Would be undoubtedly the most epic sports performance of all time.

edit- Rory McIlroy fail
