A couple of items for the superstitious punter 
The last two winners of the Masters also won the Dubai Desert Classic - Willet in 2016 and Garcia in 2017. This years winner was Hao-tong Li.
Henley in his three appearances has gone 31/21/11/?
The most talented player I ever saw play live ( have seen Nicklaus,Player,Trevino - unfortunately not Tiger) was Bobby Cole. He was the youngest player to ever make the cut at the Masters in 1967 at 18 years - a record which stood for around 46 years. As he was an amateur it is probably why I have always taken an interest in the amateurs and now we can bet on top amateur
From "The Crows Nest" a Texas Longhorn who has played the course around 10 times and was taken around by a fellow Longhorn - Spieth.
Top Am Ghim @ 33/10
(or if you can still bet at WSB 7/2 )

Not a lot from my point of view on the groups so will probably steal some of PW's when he posts 
SA Group
Grace is not course suited, first time out for Frittelli and Immelman has probably only made one cut in his last 50 outings so a straight shoot out between Louis and Charles which makes the 7/4 and 11/4 attractive on what is virtually a match bet. My choice
Charles @ 11/4
German Group
Only two contenders Kaymer and Langer. Kaymer is carrying a wrist injury and may or may not start which means either a winning bet or funds returned - just the kind I like
Langer @ 16/10
Top Debutant
Rather a large group this and one I would normally avoid but, for me the Masters is all about approach to the green ie getting the ball in the right place on the green. Kizzire's stats on the tour this year are GIR 10th and Proximity to the Pin 27th - exactly what is required to succeed at the Masters.

That is just fantastic. I would take just one bet on the Masters on that basis. Spieth 14/1 at 1/5 for top 10 ie Spieth 28/10 for a top 10 place - To quote RB - GoldenNortherner wrote:

Also very excited for this one
SkyBet go 1/5 the odds for 10 places which I think is generous. Others are offering 5 or 6 places with 1/4 the odds but I always prefer taking the extra places with the expense of a smaller return, especially in such a competitive field where there could be plenty of tied finishes in and around the top 10.

Finau,my man,what the hell did you do?!! 
Actually dislocated his ankle and just popped it back... I wouldve been cripple for a month.
X-rays came back clean,but he'll have an MRI this morning. If that looks fine and the swelling is under control,he will play.
Ugh,how mad he must be at himself.

Unbelievably have now backed Fowler every time he’s finished runner up in a major or top 5.
Place money covers my investment in others but another frustrating near miss.
