Rocco and Elk are a couple of newcomers this year, but, I like Duffie "i'm at the" Waldorf, he got his feet wet last year  and when that putter gets going he makes a ton of birdies

just an fyi , he was 33/1 this week , good 1st round so far, has a chance

mark - john houston @40/1 is an auto take any week on the champions tour , he is capable of firing any week and winning on that circuit , he can be a birdie machine for 3 days when he gets that putter going

to me though 65/1 on a guy who is 7th in par 5 scoring and has the ability with his length to turn Augusta into a par 68 (there are others in the field that can do this as well , they are just not 65/1) is value

as for his ytd performace , 7 top 25's is pretty consistenet , and if  he can lose in a playoff at Riveria , why can't he do well at Augusta? After all Riveria , is called Hogan's Alley for a reason , you have to be able to shape tee shots and approach shots in order to succed there. If he can have succes on a tighter course like Riveria , shaping the ball around Augusta will not be the issue.

Yeah,. the putter may derail him in the end , but, he has shown ability to make putts down the stretch of golf tournamnets as well

I just think at that course , at that price , he is value

Faldo , Mickelson , Couples , Love III and Calc are all names that have had success at Augusta , i know Love III and Calc never won there but both had a lot of good finishes. Those players all had success at Riveria as well, some in the same year , just something to watch.

Phil has helped the kid along a bit , and my guess is he will give him some tidbits about Augusta , and since Tiger ain't telling anyone about the golf course , Phil is the best guy on tour to get info from about Augusta

he's back hide the women and children

There is no other way he could win any of the other 3 this year.

i disagree , he can win at royal lytham , if he gets on the right side of the weather on the early days he can win there as well as augusta

olympic and kia. island maybe asking too much

i wouldn't make the play train , if he wins , he probably wins either at augusta or the british

Just a quick comment on Jimenez today in response ;

Yesterday's matchup between Jimenez and Sergio had one key factor that today matchup with Keegan does not have ....the spanish factor.

You may dismiss the importance of yesterdays battle between the two countryman if you want as being unimportant as they play together alot and are great friends (although Sergio prefers women) but being spanyards the macho competition factor between their ages is a very big thing in Spain. Segio garners all the youth and Jimenez has the elder and liberal supporters.Sergio having the greater strength Jimenez must ply his skills with his mental strength and a dogged persistence that is very mentally taxing. Jimenez is strong mentally and is more than capable of throwing up another good round but.... I see Keegan as being driven by last weeks shy wiskers and wants to prove his worth in match play this week. I may be wrong and it will cost me dearly if I am but I'm going with that free swinging glare and intense concentration of the young Mr. Bradley

blue , good luck

i just think -158 is too high of a price for bradley vs a guy that is not intimidated by anyone at anytime on the golf course

bradley may very well win , but, i think , day in and day out if you lay that number against miguel you will lose

hope today is not the day , good luck

gp r2

double - 3,4/7

tampa r7  wp #7

GP race 3 #7

good luck

bill thx for all the picks

can you explain how one would play your picks?

thank you

kirk - i think you make some good points

but i will say that if houston or pittsburgh were 100 % , i think they would be capable of beating anyone in the NFC on a given day

ravens just seem not to be able to put it together and the patriots really had a cakewalk schedule this year and a gift 1st round playoff game

the colts were better than the saints a couple of years ago but it just seemed the destiny wanted the saints to win it all that year

don't start , it's a tough game unless you can devote hours to it

the derby is fun and you get telephone numbers in there almost every year

To me the giants win that battle again Europa

They beat the pats again up front man to man and win the super bowl

I saw Mr Kraft in Florida a couple of weeks after the super bowl.

There was a fellow  from NY who came over to talk to him and said great game Mr Kraft. Great game.

Mr Kraft's response was very simple , they beat us up front , in the trenches , nothing more , nothing less , good old smash mouth football.

Now to me the game is as simple as that , if you think that the Pats O-line can stand up against the giant front 4 , they can win the game , if you don't they are going to lose again

Cruz/Nicks/Manningham and Welker/Gronk/Hernandez make all the big catches from the top qb's

If the pats get dominated in the trenches it won't matter again and the Giants will roll to a 38 -17 victory
