He's won 2 freaking majors, and he's always hanging around the Masters leaderboard. It better not be his time. All he does is crush major dreams.

Edit: Fowler isn't a bad pick, but I'll stick to my guns and go with Garcia. He's got good vibes with his engagement, plus he lost out to Rahm, who went on to the finals in the match play, so it's not like he's playing poorly.

let us harken back to the most clutch loving approach shot I have ever seen, after Adam Scott hit that beauty birdie putt and it seemed certain he had it won.

Oh, I'll never forget it. I remember watching it in a clubhouse. The sound the spectators near me made when he stuffed it in the rain on the 72nd hole of a major was positively primitive, like a caveman seeing a spaceship or something.

That and Bubba's insane playoff duck hook are the two times I've ever yelled at my TV screen over golf.

I was able to get tickets to the practice rounds last year. It really is amazing how manicured the course is. Even HD broadcasts don't do it justice. It's like there isn't a single blade of grass out of place.

Yeah the maintenance of Agusta National is amazing. Literally nothing is out of place.

I love that ipad-controlled system they have to maintain the moisture levels of the greens too.

That's definitely in my top 5 "yell at golf on TV moments." Another was Garcia lipping out the winning putt in regulation at the Open, and in 2004 or 2005 when John Daly missed a kneeknocker to extend a playoff with Tiger Woods.

Phil at Winged Foot in 2006 is on the list, too. Man, such great TV.

Unless there's another DJ, Dustin Johnson is the most prohibited pick right now.

J. Rose is a smart pick for top 10. But I'm going big or going home. if somebody picks him and wins, I won't be sending you balls.

Strolling in to pick Adam Hadwin :canada:

Edit: Well, I'm cheering him on for sheer patriotism, but at 80-1 odds, I may as well hedge this bet with some other fun stuff.

No one's taken Lefty yet? Put me down for Phil, then.

My cousin schmoozes concrete buyers for a living, so he spent last year's Masters doing "business" with clients at Augusta. Jerk. I'm saving up to take my parents some year.

Apparently Dustin Johnson fell on the stairs and seriously injured his back. Hoping to play but there's a chance he might not.

Frank Nobilo just said on Golf Channel that no American golfer plays better in bad conditions than Rickie Fowler.

The same Rickie Fowler I initially picked then swapped out. :negative:

I saw Rosey tee off a few times yesterday and since I can't pick my boy Bubba, put me down for Justin Rose.

One might say he's really behind the 8 ball regarding his chances to play, big blow to his chances this year.
