patweisers44 700 Posted April 7, 2014 Could he? Sure - he has all the skills to do it still. But unlike Couples' syrupy swing, and Watson's rythmic timing - TW's swing is a violent collision of force. He's only 38 and yet his body is about as broken down as a 10-year NFL starting rb. This combined with the fact that his short game is miles and miles away from where it used to be, and the fact he's become too damn mechanical - I just don't see it happening. The British Open would prolly be his best shot - but I'd certainly kiss away our national Open. Is tiger Shaun Alexander or Ricky Watters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 426 Posted April 7, 2014 Last year's hot, trendy pick was Matteo Manassero - I predicted he'd miss the cut, he did. This year the name seems to be Graham Delaet. Like Manassero, DeLaet has game - but 1st time Masters rookies do not win Green Jackets. You have to go back 35 years to Fuzzy Zoeller - don't see it happening here. For that matter J. Spieth won't contend either. I look for both to struggle to make the cut. As they said on the GC this morning - when Rory putts bad he's still good. When he putts great Rory is damn near unbeatable. If his finds his stroke this week we could see another repeat of what he did to Congressional at the US Open. Outside of Rory, I'm not in love with any of the other top 10 or so obvious favorites. There are a handful of young guys who could win this thing - but again, forget about any 1st timers. I still Like Z. Johnson, Kooch, and C. Schwartzel, and maybe H. Mahan. Manassero doesn't have the length for Augusta. He might do well at Hoylake this summer, though. I know Delaet is a trendy pick, but I didn't want to shy away from him for that reason alone. Sometimes, a guy is a trendy pick simply because lots of people recognize that his game fits a course well. I do agree with you about Spieth, though. I think he'll break through at a major sometime in the next 2-3 years, but I don't think it will be this one. One guy I do like that you mentioned is Schwartzel. He has the game for Augusta (obviously) and his game is fairly sharp right now. I have him at #12 on my list behind Stenson... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbleweed 426 Posted April 7, 2014 I also think that if there is a year for a first-timer to claim the title, it is this year. It PROBABLY won't happen, but seeing Harris English or Patrick Reed or Victor Dubuisson slip on a green jacket come Sunday would honestly not surprise me all that much.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 7, 2014 i know the forecast now is dry for the tourney, but if the course is wet (long) at all, Zach is gonna struggle. I believe he laid up a million times the year he won and his wedge play was out of this world that week. I am not sure he has that kind of week in him right now. Zack did lay up to all the par 5's that week. That's his game, and he's really good at it. It's actually more unusual for him not to have it than to have it.

I believe he laid up a million times the year he won and his wedge play was out of this world that week. I am not sure he has that kind of week in him right now. Augusta drains beautifully. After tonight, there doesn't look to be any precipitation in the forecast for the rest of the week. Looking at Zach's Masters record, other than the win it's rather unimpressive. T20, T32 twice, T35, 40th and cut three times in 9 appearances. I still like the way he's been playing this year. I'll stick with him. On a side note with this Patrick Reed fella. How great would it be if he had the 54 hole lead and waltz'd out onto the course Sunday afternoon wearing his red shirt and black pants a la tiger?? Which he will do.

Yea Reed makes no bones about it. Openly says that the reason he wears the red/black is bcoz TW is his idol - does it totally bcoz of him.... Normally Masters rookies do not fair well - but Reed is a special kind of 1st timer. Having played his college golf at Augusta St. - he isn't exactly new to the course. He could make some noise.

cbfalcon 824 Posted April 9, 2014 I believe the depth of talent on tour today is misleading. I believe the skill level isn't any more today than it was 30 years ago. What has happened is that technology has leveled out the playing field - guys once at the bottom are hitting it the same as those at the top. The average tour stop is nothing but a display of bomb driver, flip wedge, and putt. Not many outside of Bubba and a couple others actually manipulate their golf ball. Watching sponsor exemptions and kids go driver, 5 iron to par 5's is not very exciting. It's one of the reasons I enjoy watching the LPGA so much. They actually play golf there - and they aren't exactly terrible to look at anymore. I agree the technology is a big factor in evening out the playing fields. But the other factor is that these guys all grew up with teachers and infinite access to 100x more info on proper swing mechanics than anyone did 30 years ago. Just think, back then the only way to figure out something new was trial and error, or a buddy giving you a tip. These days a 12 handicap like me has access to more swing info and tips than Gary Player had access to in his entire career. In any venture, when everyone has the same information, the gaps from one person to the next narrow. Then add in the technology, which makes mishits more foregiving and whatnot, and the gaps narrow even more. I often claim the fields are deeper today, but I don't mean to imply the players are more talented today. I simply believe this narrowed gap makes it much more difficult to win now.

There are a handful of young guys who could win this thing - but again, forget about any 1st timers. I still Like Z. Johnson, Kooch, and C. Schwartzel, and maybe H. Mahan. One thing I love about Rory....Most of these other guys lose and seem to say/think "I just didn't get it done this week. That's golf"....Whereas Rory seems to actually examine his failures and learn from them. I have no doubt that loss at Honda helped him long term. The result is that it feels like Rory is building his game as we head into the Masters, whereas with most of these other guys, it will just come down to whether or not they have their A-game this week.

KSB2424 3,085 Posted April 9, 2014 Here is the team I am rolling with. *gulp* Sergio Garcia $20,692 Lee Westwood $16,071 Be prepared to be dissapointed on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 9, 2014 Day, Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Sneds, Woodland, Choi Be prepared to be dissapointed on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,085 Posted April 9, 2014 Be prepared to be dissapointed on Sunday. Touche' But you must admit, Sergio and Westwood are notorious Weekend Chokers.......two of the most talented golfers of this era who never seem to get it done. A group of my friends have a draft every Major and I wager a little bit for fun on the majors too. The past like 5 freakin' years I've either drafted or picked Westwood thinking "This is the year!@#!" only to be teased and dissapointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,085 Posted April 9, 2014 DJ and Woodland - agreed. They've not been around nearly as long as Sergio and Westwood. It takes years and years of coming up short to get in Sergio and Lee's choke level. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,085 Posted April 9, 2014 Choke is choke - you didn't quantify it. HTH Wow you're being rather an ass today. Congrats. A choke is a choke. A singular event of which lots and lots of golfers come up short. To be labled a CHOKER takes years and years of evidence. Dustin Johnson choking in one major doesn't/shouldn't label him a CHOKER. If he did it 8 other times in majors like Westwood and Sergio then we can talk. As an analogy, a 25 year old person who has a couple bad relationships can and should just chalk it up bad luck or just not picking the right mate by happenstance. The 40 year old who is still having strings of bad relationships needs to look in the mirror as maybe its not dumb luck or the other poeple, its them thats the problem. HTH And I actually do not dislike Sergio or Westwood. I'd be happy if, especially Lee, won the Masters. I'd be thrilled for him to fiiiiinaaallllyyyy breakthrough. I'm just saying it feels like we've been saying that for a decade now is all. I've sort of given up on the thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
