2011 Masters

[TheGodfather]

Where are all the golf enthusiasts around here!

It was sort of a slow start today for a lot of the big guns, though McIlroy has had an incredibly good first day.

Mickelson lost composure as he was finishing up. I can't wait to see how these guys come out tomorrow.

My pool picks: Picked from a pool of 40 players separated into 5 groups ("Best", International, Young, Wild-cards, "sentimental") , 2 picks from each group for a total of ten. This format would explain some of my weird picks, which just so happen to be working out surprisingly well so far (Garcia, Couples.)

Phil Mickelson
Luke Donald - toss up between Donald and Westwood.
Justin Rose
Matt Laird - Regretting given the unlikely hood of a good showing for rookie
Anothony Kim- instead of McIlroy . Who knew #1 spot, 7 under first day. I knew the Kid was good (as in top 10 in world) but really?
Dustin Johnson - Although early, in hindsight should have dropped for Roy.
Matt Kuchar - Damn good pick, but pretty much everyone has him.
KJ Choi - My best pick so far, not many picked him.
Fred Couples - better than I expected.
Sergio Garcia - surprisingly good start.

So far not too bad! Some of my "worst" golfers have performed the best on the first day.

Watching people enjoy an amazing game, on an amazing course, on a very amazing day makes "spring" time in Alberta unbearable. It will be -6 tonight with flurries!

What are you guys thinking? Who are your picks?
