The Masters 2012



Its that time of the year again when the golfing world turns their attention to Augusta, Georgia where the first major of the year is held - the Masters.

Certainly, this year promises to be one of the most exciting tournaments ever because it is by no means a two or even three horse race. We have Tiger winning at Bay Hill just two weeks ago are is considered to be the favourite.

However, if you look at the others such as crowd favourite Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy and world Number one Luke Donald, its not a foregone conclusion between Tiger and Rory.

Dont forget the dark horses that could pull an upset just like last year's winner Charl Schawartzel. There is Keegan Bradley, Justin Rose, double winner Hunter Mahan, Mr. Consistent Steve Stricker and Bill Haas the Fedex 2011 champion.

Anyway, if money is on the line.. i will take Yunos... hehe...
