The Masters Competition!

by sportform Tue Apr 09, 2019 12:04 am

It is that time of year again when the top golfers in the world make their way to Georgia for The Masters at Augusta. This competition returns for its tenth year. Fernando won The Masters Competition last year and is looking for back to back wins in this tournament.

The rules remain the same so if you haven't played before all you have to do is select six golfers, before the first tee off on Thursday, then sit back and see how they get on. I will hopefully get a leaderboard up for each round sometime the following morning.

The winner will be the person with the lowest combined score from their three best finishers. That allows upto three of your selections to not make the cut. The competition scores will be the actual scores from the golfers. So if you have Jordan Spieth and he scores 280 for his four rounds, you get 280 towards you score.

The full rules are listed at the bottom of this post.

Here is a list of the winners so far and you can see the previous Masters' final leaderboards in the spoilers below:-

	The Masters	US Open	The Open	US PGA
2018	Fernando	Diggers	JAS	Bobby4320
2017	robopz	AlciG	hend085	wiretapper
2016	owen11ozzy	owen11ozzy	I'm never wrong	4putt
2015	jimbohammers	JDizzle	lorus59	Bob_the_job
2014	kouchi	Bobby4320	TexasWedge	John Cregan
2013	EmmDee57	Shotrock	Aruglia	raycastleunited
2012	Alsie	Bobby4320	EmmDee57	dynamark
2011	GG	WillyGilly	Yadsendew	Faldono1fan
2010	navyblueshorts	no1yankee	Rich	venice1

To clarify here are the rules:-

1) Select six golfers before 12.00pm on Thursday.

2) Your score will be the cumulative scores from the three best performing golfers of your six selections.

3) As in any golf competition the person with the lowest score wins. Par for this competition would be 864.

4) You must have at least three of your selections make the cut in order to win.

5) In the event of a tie for first place, your fourth best placed selection will be the decider. If there is still a tie after that the fifth then sixth selections will be considered respectively.

Hope that explains it all and good luck.

PS I deleted my previous entry as I had a wee change of heart on one of my picks. As it is 4:25am in Augusta I hope this is OK?

Good turn out folks .May the best man/lady win

by I'm never wrong Thu Apr 11, 2019 7:33 pm

I don't think anyone picked Phil or Patrick

by I'm never wrong Sat Apr 13, 2019 9:49 am

Only five picks missed the cut. Admittedly Casey and Rose were popular picks.... Crying or Very sad

by dynamark Sat Apr 13, 2019 12:55 pm

Strange to be relying on Mr Funny trousers for the British challenge .Credit due though

by super_realist Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:02 am

9C adding a pair of moobs to his appallingly bad tshirts that looked like he'd left a purple sock in with the wash.

Can't deny how well he's playing though, even though he's had a few bit of fortune through the first few days. Hopefully Molinari will get the job done and be on for a Grand Slam.

Anyone down to -7 could win this.

by dynamark Sun Apr 14, 2019 11:59 am

On the fashion dept Nike seems to have gone for the overhot lilac wash look.
Did anyone else notice Adam and Phils trousers -Phil had flares and Scotty looked like hes borrowed his fathers rather short and very wide.
The golf was good too very kind of Augusta to give us the action this afternoon rather than a late night sitting

by Diggers Sun Apr 14, 2019 2:38 pm

Looked like every other player was in a washed out pink tone, clearly en vogue. I don’t mind the Nike checked t-shirt, I think Finau was wearing one? Scott’s trousers were borderline MC Hammer.

by TwisT Tue Apr 16, 2019 11:42 am

So who won? A quick scan over the picks and I think it is EmmDee57?
