Masters 2017 thread

Haven't had sky for years but recently got reconnected so looking forward to Thur & Fridays play but will be watching the weekend on the BBC as they are only covering this and the PGA championship this year.
Masters picks this week are;
Charl Schwartzel 80/1 showing some great recent form and a past winner.
John Rahm 25/1 definatly the inform player right now.
Matsuyama has a good Masters record and showed great form earlier in the year but has gone off the boil a bit recently might have a punt at 20's.
The oldies with experiance can fair pretty well in the Masters early rounds so will have a bit on Freddie Couples as first round leader at 125/1.
 
It's going to be an intriguing year that's for sure. Weather is going to be pivotal, with plenty of wind making this a technical test up to 36 holes. Some won;t like it! I'll point out Sky Bet who are the only bookmaker to go 8 places each way and a full 1/4 odds, rather than this new fangled 1/5 rubbish.
 
I can't wait,it's definitely my favourite major.
I fancy Speith but price is too short.
I back Matsuyama in every major so got to have a few quid on on him.
Might also back Fowler & a couple of outsiders.

I wasnt aware of the wind expected,Zack Johnson 125/1 springs to mind as a past winner and wind maestro.

None of the prices really appeal that much. Reckon the value is with DJ (absurd as that sounds at 6s), Fowler at 22s and then there are a few out a 100 which seem odd (Noren, Fleetwood, Hadwin).
 
Some slightly iffy weather forecast for Thursday and Friday. Hope they've got enough green paint for the fairways.
 
Matsuyama has said that The Masters is the major that he most wants to win. He has finished fifth and tied seventh for the last two years so I will be risking a little wager on him, even if it is only a top ten finish.
 
Looking forward to it as it's always a good watch and it's the first event in the year that I'll put some money behind a few too many players for a bit of fun. This year I've gone for the following each way.

Hideki Matsuyama
Jason Day
Matthew Fitzpatrick
John Rahm
Jason Day
Thomas Pieters

I don't really think the winner is in that lot but most of them are going to be thereabouts. What I like to do on the Friday/Saturday is to pick someone hovering a few places behind the leaders and see if they can surge through from behind. Good prices and can add to the excitement.
 
Every time a Masters clip comes on the tv I am getting really excited!

The bets are on, in the office tomorrow and Wednesday....then on the plane Thursday night to Augusta. Saturday and Sunday, I'll be there cheering on a Uk winner! (Well can't guarantee the uk winner! )

It will always be The Open and US Open for me - two pure majors that anyone can qualify for and then faced with the two toughest tests in golf , it's pure , The Masters is the warm up - and as for that stupid "Georgia" music with Sky 😡
 
Just watched a bit of the drive chip and putt competition. How good are these kids?

A couple of 12 year olds just pinged it 275 yards, and then a 15 year old knocks it over the 300 mark!
