With a win at Redstone, I'm hoping Anthony Kim can pull off another win here at Augusta.  Last year he did make 11 birdies in his 2nd round, but hopefully he'll make a few less big numbers.

My pick here is Tiger Woods.

This is a pretty good article about Tiger and his chase to catch Nicklaus...
http://msn.foxsports.com/golf/story/tiger-resumes-his-chase-of-nicklaus

Most important item from the article is the information about Tiger's knee....
Since his knee operation, his play last year, although good, was not what it used to be...
His last two big tournaments, (The PGA and the World Match Play) he was unable to close the deal...
Will be interesting to see how this year goes...

IMO....
The most important job he has now is to be a father to his kids, your goals in life and your career all change when you become a Dad...
We should all hope that if he never wins another golf tournament, that he can be a positive influence on his kids.

Play starts today!!!
Let's see who can guess closest to Tiger's score, first time playing tournament golf in a while...
He is playing in the afternoon, the cold front that went through here yesterday will probably be in the area...
It should be windy...
Leader after the day will probably have a morning tee time....
I say he shots a 74 or +2....
Friday he probably betters his score and makes the cut.

Hey, you never know......so that's why I didn't see his name on the leader board.

I think Tiger finished at -4. Pretty good start!
[/quote]

he did.  2 off the lead.  Fred Couples is alone in 1st at -6.  Tiger looked very good considering his 5-month layoff!

Couples -6      1st
Westwood -5  T-2nd
Els  -1            T-20

A.K. is with Tiger at -4.  Surprised that Phil Mickelson did as well as he did, going -5, considering the way he's been playing lately.  No offense to anyone, but just the youth in me doesn't want to see anybody over the age of 40 win, with the only person above 35 being Phil.

[/quote]That's because you still think golf is a sport which requires athleticism.  It's a game that fat old men can play.      ;D

Can't remember - but isn't this the best Tiger start relative to the leading score ever?

By this statement I take it that you are neither, fat nor old nor do you play golf.  Did I hit the trifecta? ::)
