Scottie has won 3 times including the The Players Championship 2 weeks ago and 4th place at the WGC Match Play last week. Rory beat him in the 3rd place match and also has wins in October and January. Rahm started the year on a heater winning the Tournament of Champions, the following week's The American Express at La Quinta, and the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, though he hasn't finished inside the top 30 since.

OP updated with everyone's picks so far. I was very tempted to take Max but he hasn't played well at the Masters, cut/cut/T48 in his 3 appearances. However, I do like him as a person and I'll be rooting for him (but I'll be rooting for Zalatoris more  )The weather looks pretty gross which might bode well for DJ and Sunjae who finished 1 and T2 in 2020 when the tournament was played in crappy November weather.

I hate it, but Kameh with the Brooks pick is a good one. I just got finished watching him eagle 13 and 15 in his practice round today and every shot he hit was extremely good. And he's coming off a heater on the LIV tour and has payed well at Augusta in the past. I hope all the LIV guys miss the cut, but I think Brooks has the best chance out of all of them to do well. I'll take Keegan if nobody has him yet.

I'll take Justin Rose. My actual money is on my Tony Finau, but I feel like one veteran player always steps up out of nowhere for The Masters.

Yeah I was kinda 50/50 between him and Cam Young since Day wasn't available. There's no good reason he shouldn't do well here, though, and I'm gonna be rooting for him anyway so what's

Groups: https://www.masters.com/en_US/players/pairings/index.html Sandy Lyle getting done a little dirty in his last appearance. Wonder if they wanted him gone last year. Also Thursday featured groups look perfect. AM - Hovland/Woods/Xander, Thomas/Rahm/Young. PM - Max/Scottie/Sam Bennet, Spieth/Fleetwood/Finau Anno fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Apr 4, 2023 |

Josh Lyman posted:Has anyone played this? You can play for 10 hours for free so I was playing it for a bit last night. Graphics are really good. Controls, ehhhh they need some work. The swing mechanism is unusually slow for some reason, it's hard to explain until you try it, but, I just did not like it. I'll have to give it some more time on the free trial but I'm not sure I wanna drop $60 on it yet.

The Par 3 contest is streaming on YouTube (and on the Masters app) in glorious 720p if anyone is bored at work like me. 720p looks pretty bad these days.
