  Not sure about Adam Scott....  it will be great to see him winning, but I don't think so.

  Tiger is just about back to his best, He wll be very dangerous if he can fix a few of his swing problems off the tee he is having at the moment. I think he might win this one again.

  Yep Tiger is the man to beat no doubt, but I'm speaking from a betting point of view. I don't think he is good value at 7/2 especially if the so called experts say it's a "drawing" course and tiger now uses the power fade quite a bit.

  Will make good viewing, looking forward to it :)

  Paddy Power usually pay out top 7, so instead of trying to back the winner at a paltry 7/2, you'd stand to win a lot more by backing someone else at a better price to be there or thereabouts. I had Bubba at 50's with Paddy Power last season but I can't see it happening again. I'll take a "plodder" like the coming back to good form again Jim Furyk at 80/1, for a 1/4 odds whopping 20/1, top 7 finish

  thats a good price for furyk! not sure if the course suits his game but still good price..worth a punt :)    my "plodder" is going to be p hanson, 80/1 also....so a scott/hanson 1st/2nd place finish and i will be off into the sunset :)

  Nice one Steven, I had backed Hanson for the Texas Open this weekend but it's not looking too good at the moment.

   

  My bad, Paddy Power pay top 6 places

  The word down here is that Adam Scott has been hitting the ball pretty well,  All depends what putting game he brings...

  Rory looks like his back too.

  Just trying to think who does well at Augusta....  Apart from Tiger... Furyk does ok.
