The Augusta Masters Golf Tournament

Arnold Palmer kicked off the 72nd Masters with many people wondering whether Tiger Woods could win yet another tournament. Tiger did in fact struggle on the first two days however few would write him off at this early stage. Tiger is a true fighter and is sure to be there or there abouts on the last day.

The first day at the Augusta National Park will be remembered by a superb whole in one from the Brit Ian Poulter. Poulter renowned from his bizarre collection of clothes which he has seemingly toned down in recent years managed to whole out at the 14th hole much to his delight. His form continued into day two as he stormed to five under par and just three behind the leader Trevor Immelman.

Justin Rose was a joint leader at four under par after day one, the third time he has led the masters after the end of the first days play - quite an achievement for the youngster. Rose has a touch of quality about him and many people in the UK are of the belief that a major tournament victory is soon to arrive. Perhaps this could be the week; the bookmakers certainly believe he has a realistic chance, making him second favourite at just seven to one.

I personally believe that Phil Mickelson is the man that everybody needs to beat in this years Masters. Phil was also at five under par on day two and looks a lot leaner and meaner this year. He has been working on his fitness during the close season which could be very beneficial during the latter stages.

I have had a small wager at odds of fifty to one on Paul Casey. At the end of day two he was at four under par and is therefore in the running.
