PGA Tour: The Masters - The Elimination Game: Notes from the Ballwasher
OK, We haven't done this for a couple of years, going through the field of 94 golfers in completely arbitrary and biased fashion until we find a winner we can be happy with. Inspired by Andy North.
No consideration is being made for the conditions which may be influenced by the weather forecast. Storms on Monday closed the course, should be pleasant today, but more storms expected Wednesday. Perhaps the SubAir will presumably cope unless it blows a gasket through overuse, but it sounds as if fairways will still be soft. Then cool and quite windy for Rounds 1 and 2, fine and calmer for the weekend, greens drying out and running at 20 on the Stimpmeter.
1).No amateur has won The Masters and that won't change this week. Five golfers eliminated.
2).And Augusta first-timers haven't won since Fuzzy almost 40 years ago. That gets rid of 14 more, but this is an impressive crop of debutants including Fleetwood, Hadwin, Noren, Pieters & Rahm. Sorry guys, maybe next year.
3).Old Masters and Past Masters: This year in particular, the over-forties crowd who have flourished in the past, have been put into their place by the Young Guns. No-one over 40 has won the Green Jacket since Fatty O'Meara in 1998 and I don't see that trend changing, although Mickelson would undoubtedly bet against that trend. Green Zimmer frames for Phil, Lee, Henrik and 20 others, including 38-y-o Trevor Immelman who won't be in contention. Will he?
For those scoring at home, that's 42 down, 52 to go.
4).We haven't seen an Asian-born Major winner and who's to say Matsuyama won't be the first? Just not this week, Hideki, and you can commiserate with Ben An, James Hahn, Ikeda, Kevin Na (got to get rid of him somehow) and Tanihara. That's another six deported, 46 to go.
5).Continental Europe hasn't produced a winner since Jose Maria 18 years ago and that won't change this year, much as I think Rafa will have a good week. That's five more gone, plus I'll throw in Shane Lowry if my back can take it. 40 remain.
6).Lightning won't strike twice, willett? Very thin ice here as I really like Justin Rose to have a fine week. Good form all year and this may be his focus, much as Rio was last year. But the rest of the British contingent (including Rory) will drown their sorrows with the Patrons, and that's another 9 down the drain. 31 still playing.
7).I like winners and recent winners even more. That sees the field narrow considerably if I eliminate all those who haven't won this year or last - 11 more leave the premises, and then there were 20 (hate to see Kisner go).
8).Some high-flyers from last year have been under the radar this. Augusta National is no place to rediscover your game so adios to Jason Day, Spieth (but he'll surely be around the lead, won't he?), Scott, Reed, Bubba, 3 x Saffers, Walker, Koepka, Berger, Moore. That's a dozen to the exit, and an elite eight remain.
9).Most Masters winners are terrific putters, and Justin Thomas (48th in putting), Brendan Steele (102nd) and Johnny Vegas (164th) won't get it done.
10).Which leaves DJ, Fowler, Henley, Leishman and Sneds.
Sneds ticks most of the boxes, not least being someone who embraces the "Augusta" thing. Not in top form though.
Fowler still has that double-bogey in his DNA.
So this leaves us with a top 3 of Russell Henley, Marc Leishman and Dustin Johnson. All recent winners of course, but nothing wrong with a hot golfer. I can't see past DJ; he may be unsettled by the wind early in the tournament but soft fairways won't hurt him at all.
Best of the rest: Berger, Oosthuizen, Rose, Spieth.

Re: PGA Tour: The Masters - The Elimination Game: Notes from the Ballwasher
You make a compelling case Kwini but there is no value at 7-1 especially on an each way bet.
If it wasn't Rahm's debut I'd stick a bunch on him.
Fowler at 20-1 (for he can play in the wind) and Rose at 25-1 (for he is Mr. Consistency) offer much better value.
Leishman (60-1) and Berger (70-1) are perfect for each way bets.
If Vegas could even slightly putt I would be very tempted.
Quick question, did this method bring you to Willet last year?
And 2011, Schwartzel was so out of form I doubt you would have ended up at him with 50 attempts.
Still, it is very interesting reading as always.
PS I think I'm going to stick with Ricky and pray for more wind

Hi kwini, I will read (savor) your article later when I have more time. Looking forward to it.
For now some equipment news.
Rory has taken GBB 3 and 5 FW out the bag and replaced them with TM 2017 M2's.
Interesting that he is still chopping and changing.

Great read Kwini; thanks. As good as any way to pick a prospective winner I guess. Love the Lowry and Willett references .
Golf season always started with the Masters for me. Looking forward to this.

Re: PGA Tour: The Masters - The Elimination Game: Notes from the Ballwasher
Thanks gents,
wire,
Tongue in cheek only, there's so much written about The Masters on an hourly basis, there's no point in trying to compete. Any conclusion drawn is merely as the result of the criteria, but I beg to differ about Schwartzel in 2011; he had had a super South African series of tournament results, including a win and 3 other Top 4's, and not bad after that, everything Top 30 except a 47th.
Just hope the weather cooperates a little better than the forecast suggests.

Re: PGA Tour: The Masters - The Elimination Game: Notes from the Ballwasher
Cheers Kwini, very difficult to see past DJ. Im not one bit surprised Rory's gone back to TM, he was glowing about them earlier in the season and I think his flirtations with Callaway woods were just that, flirting no actual intent. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't sign with TM for woods at least. As for Rory winning it? I think his mind will have been too occupied with thoughts of his upcoming nuptials for him to be in the right place mentally. But who knows, if he's there or there abouts on the back 9 Sunday anything can happen.
This is it Folks, Masters week is finally here

Still refining my criteria. So far it will be a golfer wearing a cap, and playing a white ball - sorry Bubba.
More thinking to do on the rest!
Great draw for Lee, but was hoping for something better for Scott Gregory - not that it will bother him - and no disrespect to Lyle or O'Hair.

I think last year was the start of a European run. If I remember correctly there were quite a few English players in the top ten last year, There are more than ever in it this year.

I thought YE Yang was born in Minnesota - why couldn't I remember him?
Yup, The only thing about the weather is that there's been a lot of chat over here about the impact of the wind for two days, and with a soft course possibly favouring high-ball hitters.

Re: PGA Tour: The Masters - The Elimination Game: Notes from the Ballwasher
Kwini - yes, he's a member at Corehampton just a few miles from me. I've played with him several times in our annual match vs County. Really nice lad - noticeably a bit more cliched past year or two but real quality golfer. Not a big hitter but as accurate as you like, and hot short game. Very popular with his peers, and pitched up at our place a few weeks ago, very early ahead of county match just to spend morning with juniors. No prior warning, just settled in with them and gave some quality coaching - then asked that it not be mentioned later at dinner as didn't want to appear big I am!Hope he makes cut - I see he won the annual match with US Am champion last week.

Nice menu by Willett ... but c'mon, I know there are some wineries in Surrey that make a passable white. And why not a claret for the main course?
I have a hunch about Rose and Rory this week ...

Why would Danny choose California wine when he's got the whole world to choose from? Including Oregon.
Much better choice in the sequence with Bubba and Tyrrell Hatton below:

The only month my balls skip on the water hazard is February - and this March as it happens.

I'm sure there must be someone missing but at first glance it looks like a 100% turn out. (Except Palmer of course.) Larry Mize and Ben Crenshaw look more alike every year.

Plenty will be thrilled if you're right Jermaine,
Amazing stat on pgatour.com from last year's Masters:
Greens hit in Regulation: Eight of the Top Ten were non-Americans.
Full list, in order:
Fitz
Rose
Westwood
4th not identified but presumably not in this year's field - Kaufman perhaps? But could just as easily be another non-American.
Berger
TGarcia, Kjeldsen, Wiesberger, Willett
Oosthuizen

Yeah, I appreciate that Kwini and my Willet question was certainly on the cheeky side.
Interesting point about Charl though as I was sure he was in poor form coming into it. I even recall talking a friend out of backing him after his opening 69, got a few pelters for that come the Monday.
There is still some merit in the elimination process though, for example those making their debuts. I genuinely believe the only thing stopping Rahm from winning it is that it his first time here. I don't doubt there are many reasons as to why no only three (really two, or maybe even one) debutants have won and I don't see it changing.

I don't think Jackie Burke is there. The old guy between Crenshaw and Woosie is Doug Ford. Between Watson and Coody is Tommy Aaron and Bob Goalby is between Mize and Zach.

Good catch GPB,
Only one I had trouble id'ing was Adam Scott!
Strange old story from the AP about Jimmy Walker battling mono for the past five months. Worth bearing in mind as we come to some TX tournaments where he often plays well.

Storm clouds gathering over Augusta National - if the extreme end of the forecast materialises, there could be damage to the course and then it'll be a race against time for the grounds crew to clear everything up and make pretend it never happened #fakenews.

Well the Par Three Contest is off and running.
Webb, Bubba, and J-Day were supposed to play together, supposively with their Brood in Caddie Garb.
Webb and Bubba are the leaderboard, but no J-Day.

Nice write up Kwini, really enjoyed your elimination process. Hard to argue with the DJ outcome especially if the ground ends up a little damp.
I fancy a missed cut from McIlroy.

NO WAY Rory misses the cut! It's his time.

Christ, I thought 9C was wooden and dreary. DJ sounds like he's thicker and more boring than Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney's lovechild.

Super - I'm guessing he's smoked so much weed that it's become his MO. I enjoy the "no BS" banter ... but that's just me.

I thought he'd have a bit more personality, but seems about as interesting as a pint with Gordon Spieth.

Think he's worse now after his comeback. Before he did at least have a hint of charisma.
