Last week we got together as a staff and made predictions for The Masters. We were tasked with choosing the winner, as well as a dark horse, someone not ranked in the top 25 that we thought had a chance to grab the green jacket.
Of course directly after the graphic was made, Jordan Spieth won at the Valero, so dark horse might not be the best descriptor.
Crazy to think that none of the staff made the same predictions.
Who do you agree with? Who do you think is way off base? Give us your thoughts below.
Gotta go with [USER=3474]@MWard[/USER] solid picks on both ends!
Geez….I’d have to go with [USER=3]@JB[/USER] as his selections are serious contenders. I like JT as favourite but Spieth as darkhorse was solid.

Looking into the last winner outside the top 50 a few posts back, I was reminded that Danny Willet was ranked 16 when he won. Seemed to come out of nowhere.

Thanks to Jason Sobel, I am also reminded that Danny Willet was prepared to skip the Masters, as his wife was due to give birth on Championship Sunday, April 10. She gave birth on March 30, and Danny played and won.
Jon Rahm vibes?

I went with fun picks more than anything – Hughes being 50+ and a Canadian, I thought it would be a riot to watch him come out of nowhere.
And Finau? Well, I’ll always root for him to break through.

I’m trying to picture Mackenzie wearing the Green Jacket and it’s so weird lol
It’s not the objective, but I think Team [USER=782]@ddec[/USER] might have the highest combined finish of those groups.
I like Deans choices!!
If I have this correct….11 of 12 names picked made the cut. 9 of those 11 at E or better. Not too shabby thru 36 holes.

He left a few out there today but played pretty darn well.

We do seem to watch a bit of golf, and pay attention to who is trending and who are the horses for courses. That’s pretty awesome.

Rory was playing like a hack at the muni! Proves what everyone says, “Golf is hard!”.
