I have family who will be at Augusta for the practice rounds. I'm not sure if they will be there on Wednesday, but I'll check.
How is everyone's favorite to win this years Masters? I'm still mulling over my prediction, but I am almost certain that Tiger Woods will not be wearing the Green Jacket this year. Early reports are that he looks rusty hit several poor shots during today's practice round. I just don't feel that he will be on top of his game.
I DOUBT he will be in contention....but I will never bet against him. I like Anthony Kim and Camilo Villegas. I LOVE Kim's aggressive game, but I don't think you can be TOO aggressive with Augusta. Camilo is a thinking man's aggressive game.
I would say Kucher and Casey have to be the favorites.
His name is on the tip of my tongue---especially after his sudden death win yesterday---but I am not quite convinced. I have start flipping a coin on this one...
Just to add to my post...I really like Kim - he is hot (won this past weekend and finished 2nd in another event this year) and he is just now coming into his prime. However, he doesn't have a top 5 finish in any major and I just read an article that mentioned he will have surgury on his injured thumb following the Masters.
Masters Coverage
Hmmm. I just pulled-up the upcoming television schedule:
Wed, April 7 ESPN 3-5 PM ET (Par 3 Tournament)
Thu, April 8 ESPN 4-7:30 PM ET
Fri, April 9 ESPN 4:30-7:30 PM ET
Sat, April 10 CBS 3:30-7 PM ET
Sun, April 11 CBS 2-7 PM ET
Offhand, I'm a little disappointed with ESPN's coverage on Thursday and Friday (would like to see coverage kick-off at 2pm)...and there are only so many interviews one can watch on the Golf Channel.

Thursday and Friday tee times and pairings at the Masters
Read 'em here. My Top 3 picks (in no particular order):
Woods is paired with Choi and Kuchar
Michelson is paired with Allenby and Yang
Kim is paired with Els and Ishakawa

The Woods, Choi and Kuchar is interesting. WHO is under the most pressure in that group?
The Par 3 Tournament was like take a trip down memory lane with Arnie, Jack and Gary playing together. Outstanding!!!
Let's just hope they won't be airing his money shots.They will be airing Tigers shots
It's not ESPN or CBS fault. They would love to show more coverage but this the Masters and they run the show there and they decide how much of it will air on TV. Period.
