That's a pretty good list, though my Top 3 would go Fred Couples (has always been my favorite golfer since I was a kid), Jordan Speith (my Fred Couples replacement), then Tiger.
Agreed, but I really think that you've stated who you are rooting for. Do you really think they have a good chance to win? I'm not poking or challenging...just wondering.
Just like the football movie, "Any Given Sunday", the Masters turns into "any given 4 days the second weekend in April". To be sure, most winners, while perhaps not expected, were at least capable of winning. Take a look at the
historical winners: not very many "just-couldn't-have-happend" names in there. But some seemed to defy a bit longer odds.
Like Larry Mize (1987 in a VERY dramatic fashion in SD over Norman and Ballesteros)), Tommy Aaron (1973 in what would be only one of his 2 wins on the Tour), Charles Coody ) with only 3 Tour wins, beating Nicklaus and Miller. Even Sandy Lyle in 1988, where his bunker shot on 18 has been ranked as one of the top 5 shots in Masters history (
