I think you are right BDB. I don't really know anything about golf but was just looking for action. I read this article (below), then saw that Cinc was rated #10 in the world, then logged on pinny he was odds on fav. there to make cut, so said what the hell and bet it big. Now I think I might have made a "dumb" but profitable decision. Guess I gotta wait it out. I don't even know how you make the cut. Hopefully the bad weather helps me out vs hurting Cincs chances. Oh well. Hoping for the best.
If someone who follows it closely won't mind posting in this thread tom. morning say how Cinc looks. If he looks good like he will make the cut or if he is playing bad and not looking good to make the cut. I would appreciate it.
This was the article I read and the one Another Steve was prob. refering too.

Who'll win? Stewart Cink
If you're going to win at Augusta, you've got to master the flat stick -- and Cink is one of the best putters on Tour (he's currently ranked fourth in putting). Cink has also finished in the top 25 in his last two starts at Augusta. His game seems to be in order this year, making the cut in all eight tournaments he's entered while earning a top-10 finish four times. :clap:
Who else will contend? David Toms, Darren Clarke
Even though he missed the cut at last year's Masters, Toms finished in a tie for eighth in 2003 and ranks sixth in putting this year. Clarke is a double threat in that he can putt fairly well and find the fairway more times than not -- two ingredients that should add up to a solid showing.
Who'll surprise? Zach Johnson
I know what you're thinking -- it'll definitely hurt Johnson that he has never played Augusta, but he has the game, personality and tenacity to be a factor. His experience on the Nationwide Tour has really proven to be a benefit. Johnson has made the cut in all nine events this year and has three top-10 finishes. Interesting tidbit: Johnson's 18 consecutive made cuts ranks third behind Tiger Woods (140) and David Toms (19).
Who'll disappoint? Sergio Garcia
Before this season began, there was much talk about Garcia having a breakthrough year. I have seen nothing to that effect. Even though Garcia has made every cut in six starts this year, he has fallen apart on the weekend. Garcia finished tied for fourth last year but will be lucky to crack the top 20 this year.
