The Masters

CrackDown

I caved in on betting and spread a tenner very thinly on these outsiders:

Fred Couples 50/1 - £1 EW
David Toms 125/1 - 50p EW
Ryo Ishikawa 200/1 - 50p EW
John Huh 125/1 - 50p EW
KJ Choi 55/1 - £1 EW
Kevin Na 125/1 50p EW
Trevor Immelman 66/1 - £1 EW

I thought Immelman was probably the best pick from that group. Previous winner and at -5 already.

EDIT: Me and my stupid mouth, he's just gone and bogeyed.

Big news today will be a DQ for Tiger. I will shocked if they figure out how he gets away with an illegal drop on 15

But its the Masters and they are generally a law unto themselves.

soupdragon

Are you sure - How was it illegal?

soupdragon

Just been reading about tiger, by admitting he dropped 2 yards from original spot I guess he should be DQ

Wildkarrde

Pathetic penalty. Anyone else would have been disqualified, makes a mockery of the penalty handed to Guan.
'Rules are rules' said Tiger, aye, one rule for you and one for the others.

soupdragon

Yes, should have been packing his bags this morning. The loop hole used to give him 2 stroke penalty doesn't fit with what he did. This wasn't trial by TV for something previously missed during normal course of play, tiger clearly just misinterpreted the rule and therefore dropped illegally and signed his card wrong = DQ

Wildkarrde

Agree 100%. You know, as well as i do, that anyone else would have been out.

soupdragon

Without doubt, even the high profile McIlroy would have went I'm sure.

CrackDown

Flipping the coin, if this had happened to any other player and he only got a 2 shot penalty, there wouldn't be so much controversy. So much Tiger hate, I hope he goes on to win.

soupdragon

Your maybe right, but when it's the world no1 the spotlight is always there. I still think he should have been disqualified but the committee have put their stance out which I just watched on Sky and they have stated their case well. They have exercised their right to keep him in which is within the rules, but they shouldn't have used that right IMO. I like Tiger and birdie at the 1st shows the strength of the man, pure class.
I would be glad to see him win but routing for McIlroy Westwood and Garcia 1st
