The Masters 2011

[WikiVilla]

Anyone having a flutter

The way Mickelson played In Houston, its hard to see past him, but at Augusta anything is possible

Kaymer or McIlroy could be outside bets

[Gareth]

I've gone for Nick Watney & Peter Hanson both E/W

1st round leader is good market too so gone for Hanson again and Justin Rose both E/W which is 6 places on Bluesq

Just had Sky's preview show on in the background. What is it with them having large iPads in the studio for the one of the front men to use very badly. Just get the blokes to talk and get proper VC men to run the vids in the background when required. Although they need to replace the person using anyway as he was a boring sod.

Luke Donald a decent bet - red hot with a putter, crucial at Augusta

[WikiVilla]

It's a real shame SKY have got hold of this, I thought the BBC coverage (once they'd dropped Lineker) was excellent

Bugger, didn't realise it was no longer on BBC.

Anyway, fancy Luke Donald for this one. Never ceases to amaze me how a player who wins so little can stay at the upper end of the World rankings for so long. About time he won something, and is in reasonable form.

Excellent news that Beeb have got Sat / Sun. Ken Brown & Peter Allice, Torrance, all top commentators

[Dave Cooper please]

Got a sneaky feeling for Paul Casey this week, and worth an e/w at 35-1 I reckon.

[WikiVilla]

Not sure about Casey, the way he fell apart on the final day of the British Open last year. If I was going for a European I'd either go for Rose, MacDowell or Kaymer. I really think Mickelson will be tough to beat but you never know.
Westwood - will he ever win a major ?

[WikiVilla]

Ross Fisher takes an early lead, -3 through 9

Fisher now -4
McIlroy -3

Strong start by Europe.

Woods, Els & MacDowell, what a great 3 ball to follow

[WikiVilla]

McIlroy storms into the lead -6

[Dave Cooper please]

McIlroy storms into the lead -6

Ooh, got him at 16-1.
Each way as well so only need top five.

[WikiVilla]

Sky's coverage is shite, theyre trying to IT it up like Andy Gray did with the football
Abysmal

[Toronto Villa]
