Matsudrama is weird. He basically didn't hit a bad shot for the greater part of the year last year and now he kind of stinks. Maybe he had his Billy Horschal flash and is done. He's hard to pick for this event. I normally think the harder it is to putt on a given course, the more is negates putting, but at Augusta you have make so many mid range putts that I think it matters a lot.
Yeah, it's a crap shoot. And as discussed throughout this thread, weather could play a role in the scores before the cut. Anyone who can place their irons/wedges where they want when the greens are soft, has a huge advantage. But I expect to see the conditions get much tougher as the weekend goes on. I'm just hoping there is a little group at the top on Sunday to make it interesting.
Didn't know that. So you're telling me we can get rid of him and Poulter in the same year? Tiger was a small price to pay for that kind of addition by subtraction.

Wow. That is incredibly bad timing.

I have a suspicion this Masters is going to suck and someone like Branden Grace or Bill Haas or someone else who isn't interesting is going to win.
Maybe these guys aren't your type of deal but if you want some humor with decent golf takes attached, and one guy making fun of most of the guys in the field, follow the No Laying Up guys on Twitter. They know a lot about the game but also keep it kind of light. I thought they'd be kind of avoided by players since none of them are sacred but they have gotten guys like Rory, Spieth, JT (The Ambassador) and Horschel on their podcast so they're pretty well respected. They also make fun of the old school media and their narratives which I love.
