US Masters contenders

It's the weekend that always makes me think that spring is here. Watching the climax to a great weekends golfing action on the world best golf course. And the worlds best golfers will all be trying to win the coverted green jacket. After having a brief look at the odds this morning and the bookmakers have made Tiger Woods 9/2 and Rory McIlroy 6/1 the clear favourites. However I flicked further down the list and have picked out a few decent worthy bets. However shop around for where the best place to put your bet on is as some outlets only offer 4th place and ties but I know Paddy Power offer as far down as 6th. Luke Donald is 14/1 and a worthwhile £2 each way bet. The rest of the golfers names I'll list are all worth a £1 each way. Lee Westwood is 20/1 Hunter Mahan is 28/1 Keegan Bradley is 30/1 Jason Day is 40/1 Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson are both 50/1 Webb Simpson, Graeme McDowell and KJ Choi are all 66/1 Martin Kaymer is 70/1 Angel Cabrera is 80/1 Rickie Fowler is 100/1 Some surprising odds see Paul Casey and Y E Yang at 125/1 and Stewart Cink at 200/1 and Miguel Angel Jimenez 250/1 Also it seems at Augusta a former champ always seems to feature. So the likes of Fred Couples are a mere 125/1, Vijay Singh 200/1 and Jose Maria Olazábal 400/1 So where will my money be going this weekend. McIlroy could be worth £5 to win and I hope he does but I usually pick out 5 golfers further down the field and do them £1 each way making an weekends pleasurable golf with a minor £10 outlay. I think Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, KJ Choi, Hunter Mahan and an outsider paul Casey could be the ones I'd go with.
