Sky sports will show coverage tonight & tomorrow. They showed the drive pitch & putt kids comp on Tuesday & The Par 3 comp yesterday.

I'd steer clear of Stenson, he's clearly exhausted from last year and looks no where near as strong as last year IMO.

Have a look at Gmac @ 66 on william hill...huge value & i've backed it, hoping to sell it on betfair on saturday/sunday for a tidy profit!
Gmac is at 66 for a reason - poor Masters history (4 missed cuts out of 6) and hasn't exactly been in scintillating form IMO.

Are we all forgetting Rose?

No, I love Rose (one of my favourite players) but watching him hit some really poor putts last week on tour pretty much rules him out of this competition IMO.

Stuck a cheeky tenner on Dubuisson at 100/1 he was so impressive in the match play where he came 2nd to Jason Day. Put a couple of quid on Day, too.

You have to be mad to put a bet on at this stage it could be anyone.

Having said that who do you think this is?

tank

Phil Mickelson come Sunday on the 18th green in his Sherman tank.

It's a no brainer.

Craig Stadler must be a pretty happy dad tonight. His tache will be "electrified"

Good story.

I'm all for tough greens in the big events, but these are ridiculous. Bubba hit a great shot a few minutes ago. More or less stopped about 8 ft away, then trickled another 20 ft.

If 'a friend' were to not have sky and may want to watch day two of the action... Any ideas where that might be possible?

All part of the fun for me!

And underlines that these boys really are playing a different game to the rest of us.

Three-quarters of each green might as well be pond for all the use they are as target area.

It the only defense Augusta has. Other than the greens, the course is pretty straight forward - it's wide open for the most part and has no rough to speak of.

If the greens were easier they'd all be shooting 65's every round.

It's on bbc over the weekend. I'm sure if you used a search engine you would find somewhere online that is showing it live! One website I like is sportlemon!
