I thought there were eight players that could have won, but Rickie Fowler, barring a miracle has pretty much shot himself out. Of course he could seek advice from Curtis Strange.
It's almost impossible to predict a winner these days. Certainly the eight that I have in mind would be the favorites but I wouldn't take anyone against the field. Someone like Charley Hoffman who has been playing well, and had a good finish last year could pop up and surprise someone.
If I had to pick one player, it would have been Jason Day, but after yesterday, I have to say that the odds are with Jordan Speith.
One thing about The Masters is that the winning score is often within one or two shots of the leading score after two rounds and the winner is usually not the second round leader. There are exceptions of course such as last year, but in most years this has been the case. There have only been five wire to wire winners in eighty years.
