... yes, and most players stand too close to the ball, after the stroke.

I thought of playing but decided green is just not my color.

Justin has to be the favorite right now but DJ also looks good to repeat.
But with this tournament you never know. It's the hardest one to get into but the easiest to win. In most cases the leading score after two round is within a few shots of the winning score and it's usually not the same guy. The course is supposedly a bomber's paradise but how does one explain how people like Jordan Speith, Patrick Reed, Danny Willett and Charl Schwartzel winning? It's a great event and I'm going to miss not being their this year.

I'll go with the "cheap-skate" Matt Kuchar to win.
Followed by Patrick Reed then Tommy Fleetwood. But: My heart is with Jordan Spieth. |

So you battle your way to get into the tournament and then just leisurely stroll to victory?!? You’re playing against the best players in the world with even more pressure than in possibly any other event. I couldn’t disagree with you more. |

Jon Rahm. I know little about golf though. It would just make a good story.

I respect what you’re saying, but I would never, ever agree that The Masters is the “easiest to win”.

Quite easy to get in.

I’ve been twice. If it was an easy ticket, I would go every year. My pick is Justin Thomas.

. I googled and got this from CBS Sports> 2021 Masters odds Dustin Johnson: 9-1 Justin Thomas: 10-1 Jordan Spieth: 10-1 Bryson DeChambeau: 11-1 Jon Rahm: 12-1 Rory McIlroy: 14-1 Spieth is maybe the best value play among the favorites unless you believe in McIlroy finding his very best stuff over the next few days. DeChambeau might be slightly overvalued given his relative lack of success at Augusta National. Thomas is also hot having just won The Players Championship for the first time in his career. Patrick Cantlay 20-1 Xander Schauffele: 22-1 Brooks Koepka: 25-1 This tier is interesting because you could see some guys slide up here if Koepka withdraws as most expect. Cantlay at 22-1 seems undervalued considering the show he just put on at Austin Country Club (despite not getting out of pool play). Collin Morikawa: 30-1 Patrick Reed: 30-1 Lee Westwood: 30-1 Tony Finau: 33-1 Viktor Hovland: 33-1 Daniel Berger: 33-1 Hideki Matsuyama: 35-1 Scottie Scheffler: 35-1 Webb Simpson: 35-1 Cameron Smith: 35-1 Tyrrell Hatton: 35-1 Sungjae Im: 35-1 Paul Casey: 40-1 Jason Day: 45-1 Sergio Garcia: 45-1 Tommy Fleetwood: 45-1 Matthew Fitzpatrick: 45-1 Joaquin Niemann: 50-1 Bubba Watson: 50-1 2021 Masters odds to win, favorites: Dustin Johnson tops board, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas lurking - CBSSports.com . .
