Two of our savvy pool leaders, Donald Herron and Scott Winegar (along with Pat Moloney of Basketball Bracketology fame, who jumps from 9th to 5th) picked Stuart Appleby to repeat in Houston. They might have won the whole deal if "Brain-Dead" Stuart was thinking straight. Instead of forcing a playoff on the last hole, Appleby goes for broke from the fairway bunker and double boogies. This comes after watching the eventual winner, Adam Scott, hit his drive in the drink. Another Brain-dead award goes to Bubba Watson (T-2) who made some course management choices down the stretch that still have Johnny Miller scratching his head.The Masters this week will probably turn out to be a routine, comic book exercise. Twelve of us (thinking like Scrooge McDuck) have picked Tiger to win. Remember in those old Donald Duck comic books when Uncle Scrooge used to dive into his money which he kept in a separate room in his mansion? Tiger's got so much Masters Money in his bank account that he just figures he'll just pay another visit to the vault this week. The only story will be: "What If he shoots 80 on day one?" Right! Just like Uncle Scrooge, every Major Tiger touches turns to cash. Chalk talks. Tiger wins. Another Major closer to Jack's record and twelve of us looking like genius's for picking him at the beginning of the year.
Lord Arthur promised to write The Master's column for this coming week. It'll be fun to read his take on the Augusta doings.
