Monthly poll - player 25 or under who will fare best in this year's Masters...

[JezzE]

The Masters may seem light years away for those of you buried under a foot of snow this weekend, but in magazine terms we're starting to turn our attention to it now.

So in this month's two polls we're looking to see who you think will fare best from the younger and older age groups at Augusta this year.

First up, it's the 25s and under (see separate poll for the 45s and over)

Thanks for your thoughts/views...

N.B Manassero isn't yet in the field but we're hedging our bets and assuming he will get back into the world's top 50 in time...

I think Rickie Fowler, Matteo Manassero and Keegan Bradley are three young players to watch.

 

[fundy]

Bradley for me, in good form the last few weeks but the putter been pretty cold, has the game to suit Augusta if he can get the not so short stick working

 

[Aztecs27]

Hope it's Rory, but I have a feeling Jason Day is due a big pay day. Though I was tempted to bet against him now he's removed his epic beard.

 

[Lawrence22]

With his recent form you could add Kyle Stanley to that list.

 

[thecraw]

Ricky.

 

[bladeplayer]

went with Rory

 

[JT77]

I think based on last years masters and the shape he hits off the tee, I have to think mcilroy will fair best, a lot of good players out there though, so should be exciting.

 

[tmorrissyswan]

Rory McIlroy will have learnt from last year. He's a better player now than he was before.

 

[pbrown7582]

I've a feeling last years event will play on rorys mind and have gone with Jason day.

 

[tmorrissyswan]

I had that feeling at the US Open....

 

[richart]

Isn't Kyle Stanley under 25 ? He would get my vote, long and with a good putting touch.

 

[A1ex]

Mcilroy for me. Jason Day doesn't know how to win. Only the 1 win in 4 years on the PGA Tour. Great player but to win at The Masters is asking too much. Great bet for a Top 10 though.

Another Vote for Rory here

 

[Foxholer]

Another Rory vote here.

Don't think Manassero putts well enough (though Rory can be loose too).

Fowler would be my next pick.

 

[Val]

Jason Day for me, cracking player and due a win and a big win at that.

 

[Imurg]

I'd like it to be Rory but I think Day will fare best of this bunch this year.

More than happy to be proved wrong though...

 

[A1ex]

Anyone else think Manassero is out of shape? You see Rory working hard in the gym, yet Manassero has put on a stone or two. Can't be helping his game at all.

 

[Jaymosafehands]

Jason Day. If he can just speed up his pre shot routine.......

 

[FairwayDodger]

I've gone for Rory too. Don't think that's my heart ruling my head either; he's shown he can do it at Augusta and shown at Congressional that he can hold it together for four rounds in the majors.

Rory v Tiger in the last group on the Sunday!
