2012 Masters Toonamint

If I were betting I'd take Choi at 60-1, Oosthuizen at 66-1 and Woodland at 100-1

Mike Weir must be playing like crap as he is 500-1

Weir's game has been awful. If he wasn't a past champion he would not have come close to qualifying. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have full tour status at this point. I agree Choi is a good play and I'll take a shot on Henrik Stenson and Bill Haas as my longshots. Not sure of their prices.

Dustin Johnson WD's (injured back), Jason Day has an injured foot but will play. Weir has had ongoing elbow issues and missed every cut in 6 tournaments so far this year.
I think handicapping this year's event needs two considerations: Horses for courses (experience and past performance record) as Augusta has to be learned and respected. Only Fuzzy won on his first try, and that was 33 years ago. #2 is putting.....the tour keeps statistics on "strokes gained putting" and the current leader is Van Pelt (finished 8th last year), followed by Phil in the 2 spot. Day & Scott finished T-2 last year.
And of course by Sunday around 5:30 this will all be meaningless........

I put 10 on Van Pelt at 68-1 and 10 for him to finish top 5 at 11.1-1
