Jim Furyk to win 40/1 e.w. @ BlueSq
Decent record at Augusta and playing extremely well. He has finished in the top-10 in six of eight starts this year, including top-5 in each of his last three starts. Particularly impressive as these have been in the stronger events this year. Missed the cut last year, but had top-15 finishes in each of the previous four years and looked destined to repeat that feat again. Not a power player, but he has shown this season how well he thinks his way around a course - he is 136th in driving distance this year, but ranks 4th in par-5 performance! He ranks #1 in greens in regulation this year and that is particularly important around this course - putting is a lot easier when there is some control over the iron-play. Looks big odds for someone playing so well.

Retief Goosen to win 33/1 e.w. @ Easybets
Impressive final-round comeback last week at the BellSouth Classic to finish in a tie for 3rd place. It meant that he has finished in the top-4 in five of seven strokeplay events this year and that is Major form! Had played poorly at Augusta until last year when he should have won, but found Tiger unstoppable on the final day. He is upbeat about his game at the moment and has the right attributes - long off the tee and very good greens in regulation stats - to repeat last year's performance.

My Masters inventory as I have assembled it to date, ranked according to my current preferences:
(1) Davis Love(40/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
(2) Fred Couples(100/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
(3) Mike Weir(66/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
(4) Tiger Woods(+175) for 1* To Win @ Bet365
(5) Phil Mickelson(16/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
Last night I went through the field looking for players not already on my play list for consideration in the various outright markets, and there were eleven names on that list, but the only one that I had circled on that list was Jim Furyk. My hunch play is probably taking Darren Clarke as top European over Padraig Harrington. Those final decisions are still pending, and I will make an outright play on the low score in the first round. After that, my top priority is to avoid overindulging on the smorgasbord. But it is the Masters.

Chris DiMarco to win 'Top U.S. Player w/o Woods' 20/1 e.w. @ William Hill
In good form with two top-10 finishes in his last three events to add to his two top-3 finishes on the West Coast Swing and has excellent course form. In his two previous starts, he has finished 10th and 12th and importantly that meant 2nd in this category last year and 6th in this category in 2001. Like Furyk, he won't power the ball around Augusta, but has enough guile around the greens to keep his score intact.
Adam Scott to win 'Top Rest of World Player' 16/1 e.w. @ Tote
Had initially looked at Price for this category (25/1 Stan James), but the heavy rain in the first part of this week should take the veteran out of the equation. Not so for the Tiger-like Australian who has been in excellent form since the second half of last year and finished 3rd in the World Matchplay last month. On his Masters debut last year he finished 9th and this looks an event in which he will prosper for many years.
Darren Clarke to win 'Top European' 7/1 @ Gamebookers
Did look at Harrington and Rose for this category, but Harrington is very prone to mental 'away days', if not whole weeks, and am backing Rose elsewhere. In contrast, Clarke has become extremely consistent and that is certainly a new verb for this player - he has finished in the top-11 in seven of last nine starts, including an impressive 6th in the Players Championship two weeks ago. He is also very long off the tee at the moment - in his last four PGA Tour events, he has ranked 4th, 7th, 2nd and 2nd in driving distance and that will be particularly useful around a wet Augusta course. He looks set for another good week around this course.
Justin Rose to win 'Top Masters Debutant' 7/1 @ Paddy Power
Not many in this category once the amateurs are taken out and Chad Campbell does look the player to beat in this group, but siding with Rose at better odds. Like Clarke, he has hitting the ball particularly long this year, with top-20 standings in driving distance in each of his starts in 2003 and he has shown with his performances in the British Open and the NEC Invitational last year that he a 'big event' player. This is an event in which Europeans have played well and Rose looks the perfect player to continue that tradition.

Love 50/1
Howell 80/1
Weir 66/1
Goosen 50/1
McCarron 125/1 (not the cleverest bet ever!)
So will mainly be playing in speciality markets this week.
Top Euro
Darren Clarke 13/2 (but have a rather large bet at 14/1 with the Tote, who were that price v briefly yesterday!)
Top US w/o Woods
DiMarco 20/1 - I like his chances this week, 10th & 12th previously, 3 top tens this year
Top ROW
Adam Sott 16/1 - four places at the Tote
DTB...please convince me not to take the 125/1 Duval????

My 3 antepost men are:
Vijay Singh 368/1 win only (40/1 for this but doubled with 8/1 Els when he won the Mercedes). But is he fit enough???
Davis Love 50/1 e/w bet365 placed when the cameraman knocked his ball back on the green during the final round of the AT & T.... it's better to be lucky than good.
Davis Love 33/1 win only Eurobet after the Players, when someone lucky is that good.....
Adam Scott 100/1 W Hill, even if it's not 2003 this should only be a loan that will be paid back with interest.

May want to be careful betting on Hoch....I have a guy I work with...who is an old club pro that is good friends with Hoch, and he told me that Hoch said his wrist is still bothering him. I wouldnt say this if it werent a credible source, so may want to be careful......

my collection over past few months/weeks consists of...
Clarke 80/1...Butch Harmon says he will have his best season ever, and Butch is just the sort of smug fellow who is normally right...he does seem to be playing better as well, which is a bonus..
Harrington 40/1...I had to reinvest when he drifted to this price, using some of the place money won last year..
Allenby 80/1...his intent is to contend in all the majors this year..but the fact that he is taking a month break after this to try and prevent his marriage splitting up must be a worry...unless it takes his mind off the golf and he breezes round...
Also small stakes on Couples at 150/1 and Singh at 40/1..

Just the 2 antepost for me - Goose 40 and Freddie 150.
Not getting further involved apart from spending all week backing and laying on Betfair.
