The Masters

Here are the players that I am going to be looking out for this year.

1. Phil Mickelson (6 to 1)- Phil is the favorite to win this year's Masters and it is tough to not pick a three time champion.  Phil played very well this last weekend and will be looking to bring that play to Augusta where he won last year.
2. Tiger Woods (10 to 1)- Though Tiger has not been playing very well since his incident, it is impossible to not keep an eye on out on him.  No matter how much you want to say he is struggling right now he has still won this event 4 times and it is a major where Tiger always seems to bring it.
3. Nick Watney (16 to 1)- Watney has finished in the top 10 in 5/6 tournaments this year, and leads the PGA in birdies per round.  He finished 7th in the Masters last year.
4. Paul Casey (33 to 1)- Casey has finished in the top 20 four times in this event and has to skills to be able to make a run at a major tournament.
5. Justin Rose (33 to 1)- He has finished in the top 5 in his last two events and is 3rd on the PGA tour in greens in regulations this season.  Rose has the experience from this tournament and could be in turn for a run at it.
6. Dustin Johnson (25 to 1)- Dustin Johnson has great driving distance (3rd on the PGA tour this season) and can birdie a lot of holes (2nd on the PGA tour this season).  For that reason Johnson has a shot at putting together 4 rounds that would allow him to win the title, yet also could blow up and not put forth much due to a not so good driving accuracy (162nd).
7. Gary Woodland (125 to 1)- This is my reach pick for the tournament.  This is his first appearance at the Masters, but he has four top 6 finishes this year.  Similar to Johnson, Woodland has great driving distance (8th) and birdies a lot of holes (8th), but he is also good at getting the ball on the green in regulation (15th) and putting (25th) giving him a shot at pulling out the major upset in this tournament.
