Message: Tiger has never been "it" in tight finishes. He always plods the back nine on Sunday if anyone is in range. Put it this way: if Tiger is reincarnated as a racehorse, it won't be Northerly. Tiger is not a fighting tiger, he's a gazelle/tiger.

Message: Bad luck, boys. They don't do Baddeley for their population, the Saffers ~ something akin to New Zealand.
Tiger Woods thereabouts when he used to be it. Nicklaus, getting safer as time passes. Woods has lost the vital edge to his game. He never has all three departments operating at once.

Message: Ive got McIleroy at 33's and Immelman at 100's so cant complain. Have also got Quirios but must admit I took him after start of play at 25/1. Hope your right about Kim BB If I can get him up there with the other 3 after day two Ill be sitting pretty.

Message: Well what a start to the 2011 renewal of a timeless classic.
My pick Padraig went like a busted. Hopefully my savers can save me. Kaymer struggled around the course and might just be in a bit of a form lapse at present.
Early days...look for the leading score after Day 2 to be around the 9 under mark. So can't rule out anyone above the +1 mark in my opinion. Late guys today get out early tomorrow and can post a score and out some pressure on.
Big movers Day 2 for mine would be Paul Casey, Luke Donald and Anthony Kim

Message: Go Geoff Ogilvy you good thing, isn't it amazing how money can bring out the worst in you. I apologise to Phil Mickelson for death riding his penultimate putt at the 18th but I was on GO to win their group at $2.90.
When Ogilvie's swing is on song I reckon it's the best there has ever been, hope he can keep it going. It's awhile since I've backed a 100/1 winner.

Message: The Masters is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. I'm lucky enough to have been there as a spectator in 1987 - a long time ago but still etched firmly in my memory.
But for the life of me I think betting on golf is the nearest thing I know to Lotto. The only time I was silly enough to have a bet on the golf I backed Nick O'Hearn EW in the Aussie Open at a long price. They paid to fourth for the place, and naturally enough he finished 5th. Every one on the PGA tour has the ability to win on a given day, and I'm sure bookmakers wish there was a golf major every week. Good luck to anyone who has an interest, but I'm happy enough to watch just for the spectacle.
