VJ 12-1
Garcia 25-1
Harrington 40-1
Olazabal 50-1
Really like this one as well....
VJ +120 finish position under 8.5
This guy has done no worse than 8th place only once since 2000 and is playing or should I say putting as good as ever right now. Think he has a great shot to get the victroy.
Good luck Everyone and enjoy the coverage!

My favourite event to watch every year, but I would rather wager on the B.C. Open, probably because tiger will win and my longshots have no chance. Other than Stenson about a month ago here are my bets on betfair plus a five on Watson top five 310-1

Thanks DTB - very useful.
I can't get a handle on this event this year, so will just watch the action unfold with my favourite red wine and TV action.
I've vowed not to oppose Tiger in par 72 majors until he passes Jack's 18 and my resolve is still strong on this
Interesting Seve Props at Wagerweb:
1st round matches:
311- Ballesteros vs Zoeller
312 Fuzzy Zoeller -1? Strokes +120
Really would make the prices other way around - give Zoeller the 2.5 stroke plus and make him fav and Nicklaus 1.5 stroke adv and make him dog. Zoeller playing fairly well so far this year. Nicklaus non runner though..

Preliminaries:
(1)
(2) I really miss capping and playing the specialty markets at a major - it's not the same "kid in a candy store" thing (and not worth the effort) when Win Only is the only play offered. My two favorites have always been 1st Round Leader of the U.S. Open and Top Masters Debutante, but the most success has come across the board when something stands out . . . Maybe next year here in the land of the free.
(3) Props to DTB for (April of '05) post on the course setup:
(Dead Link from 2005 at augusta.com)
- - "(Thursday) has a 90 percent chance of being brutal, with pins tucked and tees tipped. Friday should let up a little, giving players a chance to shoot for the cut line. Saturday will turn harsh again, separating contenders from pretenders . . . Then Sunday will be fair pins with scoring conditions optimal and 100 percent chance of high drama . . . "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Masters (Tournament) Chairman Hootie Johnson said of the formula that has worked for more than 70 years . . . "We've been doing this 68 years," he said. "We know the golf course" . . . We try to test all parts of the game all week with a bias toward the finesse players," said Will Nicholson, the former USGA president who leads the Masters' rules and competition committees. "On Sunday, we let the shotmakers take over."

Chris DiMarco(66/1) e.w.
- - From a 1.04.07 post at the Mercedes opener:
Ernie Els(12/1) e.w.
- - From a 1/31/07 post before Els finished second to Stenson at Dubai , with my words carefully selected with an eye toward Augusta (I dabbled then at 16/1 Win Only, but e.w. in the ante-post markets wasn't offered by any of my three measly outs):
http://www.augusta.com/stories/040107/mas_122382.shtml
After Els' traditional Tuesday practice round with Gary Player, the South African legend spouted loud about his man Els, and that's not a bad thing for The Big (and fairly fragile) Easy to get out there and answer some questions about in order to get him in the right spirit to tap into what I believe has been incubating nicely and could go off.
Tiger Woods(+165) WinOnly
- - As ever, de rigueur for me as a wager in the Grand Slam events as some sort of insurance against the Chosen One (Big Occasion Cablinasian, Eldrick of Windermere, History, Major Major, Money, Sam, T, the Man, the Show, the Striped One, the Terminator, the Universal Child, the Zone, Urkel).

Charles Howell(40/1) e.w.
- - The players are about the only ones more than me that perceive every footstep taken from January (and even from August) as a prelude to their next chance come Augusta in the springtime. Lots of plaster casts of those footprints over the decades at this end, and I have no intention of ignoring what this man has shown me. I'll concede the venue is not ideally suited to the monotone cadence of his best form, but his heart can overcome that . . . Looks to be participating at some meaningful level on Sunday afternoon, and if so, will be bringing more than a cap gun to the proceedings.
Aaron Baddeley(125/1) e.w.
- - A procession of backers for a big outsider is not a good thing - but this one is based on plenty of pieces so I won't be coming to grief over my choice as some sort of crap foolishness. (And it's the only substantial play I've gotten in all year at the familiar terms of 1/4 for Top 5 - a surprise development for this event at SIA.) A pairing with Tiger is never a neutral capping circumstance, and on very rare occasions can be a nicely timed bump and thrust into the milieu of the business end of a championship, and I was not surprised to look back and see a good effort from Badds (7th) when paired with Tiger for the first 3 rounds last September in Boston . . . The kid never did pay much attention to what he was supposed to do when the heat was turned up.
Geoff Ogilvy(40/1)
- - I heard the term Ogilvyaholic - I like that - I've been something of a charter member.
Henrik Stenson(33/1) e.w.
Sergio Garcia(33/1) e.w.
Padraig Harrington(40/1) e.w.
- - Can there be anything sadder about TheGolfChannel's outstanding coverage of the major championships than watching Ken Schofield, Executive Director of the European Tour, after having been interviewed while standing on eggshells with fingers and toes crossed on Saturday nights as THE ever hopeful face of a European breakthrough moment, and then his having to come back on Sunday night amidst the ashes time after time after time? That poor bloke deserves better, and this is a really fine chance for some overdue joy before the Carnoustie anniversary . . . Stenson has some of the Mike Weir('03) of Howell and Baddeley about him, and his underrated short game now sparkles, but I'm fearful he's already accomplished a bit too much and some disappointment will soon be dealt in his direction, even if he gets off to a great start here . . . Top 5 in 4 of the last 8 majors is what I remember about Garcia, and it's not close to crushing him yet, and I'm not spitting on his chances here - and now . . . And Padraig made the card while I was looking for someone in the field that might have the right stuff but was somehow and someway just not appearing on the prevalent radar screens, and as it is he rounds out nicely my contingent of richly experienced and personally disappointed European Ryder Cuppers from whom I'm EXPECTING a commendable championship.
For first round leader, the odds are slashed (for me) on Vaughn Taylor, and Mike Weir seems to lack some substance without an e.w. option; maybe Cabrera . . . Jerry Kelly at 140/1 for Top 5 seems massive enough, but "flatters to deceive" at best.

Any thoughts on this 18 hole matchup
Clarke -5.5 +104
Zoeller +5.5 -122
Think Fuzzy shoots around 80 what do you think?

Zoeller +5.5 -122
Think Fuzzy shoots around 80 what do you think?
I decided to pull the trigger, I know Clarke hasn't exactly been lighting it up, but if he can shoot 74 or better I think I have a good shot, as I don't expect Fuzzy to break 80.
Clarke -5.5 +104 2 units
