    I want to see Woods win, then jump straight into a limo of hookers!! With John Daley driving smoke and beer in hand. That'd be epic 😁

    But seriously hoping Tiger does well. Nobody gets golf fans frothing like he does.

    One of my fave annual sporting events ... and here I am going to Paris to celebrate a fucking wedding anniversary ...

    Predictions
    Woods won't make the cut
    Poulter, who is all the talk of the UK after winning the Houston open, to finish top 10
    Sergio to barely make the cut
    Dustin to win it.

    Poor old Tony Finau! Nice ace in the hole in one tournament then ran off down fairway celebrating and dislocated his ankle! Managed to fire it back in to place and finish the 9 but didnt seem too keen to talk about it post round and could now be in doubt!

    Took a couple of tiger special bets $2 to score 1 or more eagles (surely) and $17.50 to go bogey free in any one round. Worth a small play

    I've had a crack at good odds on Bubba Watson, Justin Rose and Paul Casey.

    A really open tournament. I think Tiger looms and finishes top 10, though I'm still unsure he can string together four straight rounds in a major. Tipping a 76 on the Friday or Saturday followed by a too-little-too-late charge on Sunday.

    DJ, Spieth or Thomas could very well win, and comfortably.

    I watched some of the par 3 tournament yesterday. It was bloody interesting. The greens are obviously setup to make it seem a bit easier, but the sheer quality of the play was still enlightening.

    Player, Nicklaus and Tom Watson were strolling around, going to tee to hold regularly in 2, big crowds, lots of fun events (caddies holes, kids holes, skim ball holes etc).

    And then they interviewed Bubba. It became pretty clear why he's not well liked. Sheesh, cheer up man - it's fun!

    It looks as open as it's ever been this year with plenty of players showing some recent form and you can make a case for any of around 20 to win.

    Rose looks a good bet. Always seems to be around the leaders as does Thomas. Would love to see Rory in the mix. If his putter goes well he'll have a good week. Woods relies a lot on his putting - so likewise for him.

    Crappy start for Woods ... although has birdied as I type this to go 2 over and 6 off the lead.

    Cannot control the ball off the tee. All over the show!

    A few players having trouble at the 15th

    Garcia has just put 3 4 5 in the water! Spinning back on the green and down the slope in to the drink!

    Makes the green for 12! Sinks the putt for a 13!

    Being able to get up and down is what makes a Masters winner!

    Man golf can be a fluffybunny. Goes from winning his first big time event, to going down in flames the following year. Fickle mistress indeed!!

    Hope Tiger improves from here on out. Seems like he's close enough to stay in the mix, but if the current leaders maintain, or improve, Tiger will need to show some magic to claw his way back.

    On radio sport this morning Marshall was leaning towards Stenson or Mickelson as likely winners. But it is early doors. Caught a bit of coverage - man, it's beautiful to watch - they do a great job.

    Finau equal top on 4 under with 2 to play. Not bad for dislocating his ankle the previous day

    Had no problems getting it down but getting it up in the first place was the issue!

    It's karma for Sergio Garcia dining out on his Masters win for the last 12 months like never seen before.

    Naming his kid after the 13th hole, wearing his green jacket to his own wedding reception, also wearing said green jacket when attending events ranging from El Classico to Wimbledon.

    It's what I imagine would have happened if Shooter McGavin won the Tour Championship gold jacket.

    That big Tongan bloke can hit a ball. Bit too hard at times.
