The Masters


A tradition unlike any other. It marks the time of year when I put away the boards and take out the sticks.  Spring is in the air and Talkhouse and Drift are only months away.

My picks this year are all young guns:

Nick Watney - his game is hot this year with 1 win and 5 top tens out of the 6 tournaments he's played in

Hunter Mahan - impressive start to the season with 5 top tens and a 2nd place finish at AT&T Pebble Beach

Anthony Kim - one of my favorite players solely because of his reputation as a ridiculous party animal.  This was actually my bro's pick - he insists he's playing better this year despite only one top ten finish


Dustin Johnson - a class act ever since he was, in my opinion, completely screwed over at the PGA last year when he grounded his club in a hazard on the 18th hole.  If it was actually a hazard, get the damn spectators out of it. When's the last time you've seen patrons standing in a bunker at Augusta? What was most impressive was his on air reaction to the ruling - pure class. And he's dating Natalie Gulbis. Hate to say this but...WINNING.
