Who wins and who's the darkhorse at Augusta

Felix · Post by **Felix** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 2:50 pm

I still think Woods is the guy to beat simply because he gears himself for Augusta. But Phil is playing lights out right now and he is the defending champion.

I'm still going to go with Woods, but look for all of the usual suspects (Els, Vijay, and Phil) to make it interesting.

Dark horse-Charles Howell III
Guys game is tailor made for Augusta.

Mickelson to repeat

Darkhorse David Toms

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 5:55 pm

Tiger, Tiger, and Tiger.

Darky-horse: Olazabel.

For some reason, I always root for the guys with a little pigment to their skin at Augusta, just because it seems to bother some of the Good Ol Boys that they have to give them membership. I'm sure they were absolutely thrilled in the past decade or so to have admitted guys with names like Jose and Vijay, and a dude who claims to be "Cablanasian." Absolutely thrilled.

Goooooo, any of the non-pasty folks! Love to see Jose go out with another.

Oh, and my apologies to the Golf Forum.....

I meant to say.....

Peter Jacobsen is a SHOE-IN. It's merely a battle for second, after Jake.

BSmack · Post by **BSmack** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 6:19 pm

The favorites are obvious. Woods, Singh, Els and Lefty are favorites anytime they tee it up.

Guys who could suprise:

Zach Johnson
Jose Maria Olostmybazal
Chris DiMarco

My pick:

Sergio Garcia

Oooooh...Sergio.......a new darky in the mix........me rikey.

Michelson won't repeat. Winning it once is one thing but dealing with all the other hoopla that goes along with being the defending Masters Champion will take its toll on him this week.

My pick.. Mike Weir.

Darkhorse...Jesper Parnevik

It's got more to do with the futility of picking a single winner in a golf tournament.

That and me just wondering how long it would take for someone to see a pattern.

BTW: Add K.J. Choi to my dark horse list.

I suppose it might help his chances if he weren't to have left his clubs sitting in his garage.

Hello UPS.. can you fly my golf clubs up to Augusta for me please..
I forgot to bring them with me.

Sergio drops the first double-eagle of his life today in practice, which puts him only one double-eagle ahead of me. I guess he's not so tough.

And lobster ravioli? WTF is that? Bust off a side of collard greens while you're at it, Tits.

I like Chris DiMarco. He always plays well at Augusta. I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago and put $20 down on him (at 22 to 1). If it's gonna be one of the favorites, though, I'll take Ernie.

Never count out Jeff Maggert either.

Too late for me to get my yearly Lefty pick in?

For darkhorses, it's obvious. Tiger and Vijay of course :wink:

I was going to lay my money on rain, but then had a premonition.

I opted for the 5,000 to 1 odds on "plague of locusts".

I may be forced to gather up a shitload of the mormon crickets

No mistake about it. 2 great rounds by Tiger and only a matter of time before DiMarco folded.

He'll coast in today with a 68 or 69. Green jacket #4 is on the way and he's not even 30 yet. Though, if Tiger slips up at all, Phil is making some noise. I can see Phil finishing today at -9 or even -10. If he does, and Tiger falters, then Eddie Adams will need to buy a truckload of spooge remover.

And DiMarco, Bjorn, Immelman and Singh won't be factors because??

Why because they are golfers not named Tiger or Phil of course.

Ya that's the one part that Hootie and the Greyhairs need to relax on.

Allowing CBS to expand it's Sunday coverage to all 18 holes, like the U.S Open has or permitting the network or cable (Golf Channel) to show the weather-delayed rounds before the regularly scheduled round begins isn't going to kill them.

Wasn't it only a couple of years back that Hootie et al decided to permit TV coverage of the front nine?

DiMarco and Bjorn will fade. Immelman and Singh are too far back. For that matter, so is Lefty. But I give Lefty a slight chance based on what he's done on the back 9 before. Realisticly, nobody is catching Tiger.

Tiger has held 33 54 hole leads. He's blown exactly 3 of them, and never at a major.

Bjorn's already falling back. Watch for DiMarco to take the pipe within the hour.

PS: Anybody see DiMarco teeing off on the 7th? He looked like Ali he was shaking so much. It's a damn miracle his drive only caught the 2nd cut, and not the trees.
