OK golf fans, who are your Master's picks? Let's post our top 5, plus a dark horse pick.
Here's mine:
Tiger Woods (I personally hope he doesn't win, but I wouldn't bet against him)
Kenny Perry (the guy's played phenomenally in the past 18 months)
Davis Love III (he really needs a green jacket on his resume)
Craig Parry (a long shot, but his game is hot right now)
Mickelson (yeah, I know, all the never win a major talk, but his game is perfectly suited for Augusta).
My darkhorse pick - Padraig Harrington.
You can find the field listed here: http://www.masters.org/en_US/scores/bios/tournament.html

Mike Weir? Mike Weir? Who's he? I think mebbe I've heard of him.:D
We can't have no Canadian winning another major. That's just not right.:D Now Dave Barr was a cool guy. He had the manners to win on the PGA Tour, just not one of our majors.;) I watched him win in Atlanta years ago. In fact, I'm headed over to Atlanta on Thursday for the BellSouth Classic PGA tourney. I take the kids over every year for the tournament an a Braves game. They have a preseason game against the Red Sox on Friday.

I wouldn't bet on him, but I'd love to see Daly win.
I never knew how many Mickelson fans there were until I attended the PGA at Oak Hill last year. I'll still pull for him any day, though. Very classy guy. I was taking some photos during the Tuesday prastice round, and some obnoxious woman was berating a volunteer to get out of her way (he was standing still, BTW) to take a picture of Phil as he came across the creek on #6. Well, Phil heard it all, and I saw him start to smile as he gets closer. Next thing I know, he stops, puts his arm around the volunteer, and poses for pictures with him! The crowd absolutely roared, and he got fans for life out of it. Turns out, the volunteer is from the town where I work, and is a rep for a restaurant where I am a regular. Guess where the pic's hanging?
In the office pool I took Els, Clarke, Harrington and Jacobson. Since Clarke [just] missed the cut I'm not sure how I'm doing. Of the three that made the cut I had -7 overall.

I've never been happier for an athelete just winning. I'm glad I taped it.
In our Master's pool...
"Only Mike, Ralph, and Greg had at least 3 players make the cut and obviously they took the money. The rest of us........... 000000000000. bs"
Walsdorf -7 and $80
Ralph and Greg +9 and $10 each
