2076.1 | My top five | STOWOA::tavo.ogo.dec.com::ODIAZ | Octavio Diaz | Wed Apr 03 1996 17:11 | 14 |
| I'll go first. Based on the way the US PGA tour is going I wouldn't be
surprised to see a rookie (or two) on the leaderboard comes the final 9 holes
on Sunday.
So here are my top five:
Duval - He's been there one almost every tournament this year
Justin Leonard - Same thing
Couples - he's baaaack!
Norman - Started strong, but is loosing momentum, depends on how he plays this
week
Watson, if he can figure out those five footers, the rest of the game is there
And my pick to win: Freddy!!!
|
2076.2 | masters predictions | CFSCTC::SCHOONMAKER | | Wed Apr 03 1996 17:35 | 13 |
| Here's my top five "best bets":
1. Tom Lehman - he's there every year at Augusta, it suits his game
2. Phil Mickelson - hitting the ball great, and he's a great putter - a must
3. Greg Norman - what needs to be said, although he might want it *too* much
4. Fred Couples - He's playing this week at BellSouth, will 3 wks in a row be
too much for his back?
5. Colin Montgomerie - One of the best in the world right now.
...
99. Tom Watson - he's getting to the greens as well as anyone, but I can't even
imagine having the yips AND having to putt at Augusta!

2076.3 | My Three choices | PCBUOA::EHS | | Wed Apr 03 1996 18:00 | 10 |
|
My shot @ the TOP three who just may take the 96' Green Jacket!
1. Woosnam
2. Lehman
3. Michael Campbell
Ed (Who will be watching from Pinehurst, NC - A little Golf Getaway Next
Week - YES!)
|
2076.4 | And the winner is ... | STAR::TGOODWIN | OpenVMS SCSI Device Support | Wed Apr 03 1996 18:08 | 12 |
|
This is the way I see it:
1. Mickelson wins it in a playoff over
2. Couples
Close behind
3. Singh - won't win at Augusta with a long putter.
4. Brooks - peaked too early this year
5. Price - had a slow start so far this year.
|
2076.5 | My Top Five | RTL::ROSE | Steve Rose 42d 45' N, 71d 28' W | Wed Apr 03 1996 18:32 | 9 |
| 1. Colin Montgomerie will eagle the last hole
after hitting a tree to beat
2. Greg Norman by 1 stroke.
3. Tom Lehman will 3 putt the last two holes
to fall out of contention.
4. Fred Couples will be the last player to make
the cut but then shot a 59 on the last day
to move into 4th place.
5. Davis Love III.
|
2076.6 | | PCBUOA::PARADISO | Digital, she'll be coming round the corner | Wed Apr 03 1996 18:41 | 7 |
| Going with a couple of longshots who have a chance to win a jacket,
1. Mark Calcavecchia
2. Nick Faldo
-D
|
2076.7 | | BRAT::MCCRACKEN | | Wed Apr 03 1996 18:53 | 8 |
| 1. Fred Couples
2. John Daly
3. Davis Love III
4. Phil Mickelson
5. Corey Pavin.
Just in alphabetical order, not in order of preference
|
2076.8 | some "nobody" will take it | FABSIX::J_TREMBLAY | | Thu Apr 04 1996 13:00 | 10 |
| Grant it that everyone with an invitation to the Masters should be
considered a "somebody", I predict that the winner will be:
* Someone who's never won ar Augusta before and...
* Someone who will not be picked to win by anyone
If I were to mention any names, that would disqualify them by the second
condition.

2076.9 | maybe earthquakes ARE ok? | NETCAD::WLENEHAN | | Mon Apr 08 1996 20:53 | 16 |
|
Hi,
I can see it now;
Opening day at Augusta... 2 hour delay to shovel snow off the
greens ! :(
Is it me or is California with all its perils looking like
a nice place to buy a house?
Living in Mass is really getting to be a pain!
Walta
|
2076.10 | | BSS::JACKSON | Ice off has started! | Tue Apr 09 1996 04:54 | 8 |
| Alot of complaining about snow, but be glad the courses will be in
good shape, unlike here in Colorado's eastern range. The courses are
soooo dried out, we've been playing on dirt, greens are like cement,
and tee boxes don't have much grass.
No snow for us = no good grass come July!

2076.11 | Think about those green fairways to come!? | STOWOA::tavo.ogo.dec.com::ODIAZ | Octavio Diaz | Tue Apr 09 1996 13:17 | 7 |
| I guess you're right Tim, but boy, have we been waiting for a long time. The
first storm hit early December, and here we are 4 months later, waiting to get
another 5 to 10 inches tonight and tomorrow.
I am so optimistic (or unrealistic?) that I even got a tee time for Sunday at
Stow, ha, ha, ha.
|
2076.12 | Nick Price is ready.... | POWDML::JAYMALONEY | | Wed Apr 10 1996 18:58 | 8 |
|
Nick Price appears to be ready....
(Watch out for Watson sneaking in by Saturday afternoon... just
hope all his putts are over 10 feet..!)
Jay
|
2076.13 | Sentimental favorites | NIOSS1::ROY_L | | Wed Apr 10 1996 20:04 | 11 |
| These boys may not have a chance to win but they would make a great
story:
Nicklaus Repeat 1986 all over again.
Ballesteros They say he's washed up!
Zoeller Always fun to watch and has not one in a long time.
Woods No amateur has ever won.
Daly Also fun to watch.
Stankowski Fron no one to hero.
I guess it would be asking to much for Arny to do something.

2076.16 | some interesting pairings | FABSIX::J_TREMBLAY | http://www.ultranet.com/~tremblay | Thu Apr 11 1996 11:40 | 6 |
| Fuzzy and the Shark - this may be exactly what Greg needs to loosen up a
little and could also bring out the best in Zoeller.
Faldo and Daly - clearly a case of the tortoise and the hare
Crenshaw and Woods - Tiger can learn a lot here
|
2076.17 | | BRAT::MCCRACKEN | | Thu Apr 11 1996 12:09 | 5 |
| Does anyone know how the pairings are figured? The "more favored"
golfers have later tee times. Is this because they have better
standings in some sort of rating system?

2076.24 | I don't think they want to see a four round of -20 | STOWOA::tavo.ogo.dec.com::ODIAZ | Octavio Diaz | Fri Apr 12 1996 14:04 | 3 |
| 9 under! I wonder if the club is going to do something to keep scores high.
But since greens are already at about 13 in the stimpmeter, I guess their
only hope is that mother nature helps them.

Tavo,
I don't know how much tougher you can make the course. Norman and
Michelson were just on fire. Norman has that great bunker shot on 10
to save par, then on 16 gets a lucky bounce off a tree into the middle
of the fairway. He then hits a 4 iron 200 yrds, 4 ft from the pin. He
actually played 16, the way they use to play it in the 40's and 50's,
land short and roll on the green. When the putter is hot, not much
tougher you can make the course.

| Well, Nick Faldo wins his third Masters with a fourth round 67.
Probably the round of the tournament when you consider pin placement
and the situation he was in.
Major choke job (again) from Greg Norman, you've got to feel a bit
sorry for the bloke - he just completely went to pieces.

2076.28 | | SCAMP::MCCRACKEN | | Mon Apr 15 1996 11:54 | 6 |
| And how about that hole in one by Raymond Floyd...one of the
more interesting hole in ones I've seen.

2076.29 | 16 showed a lot yesterday | MKOTS3::tcc051.mko.dec.com::CORRIGAN | | Mon Apr 15 1996 13:57 | 8 |
|
(not that I would know about holes-in-one) but on 16 with that pin
placement, that's about the only way to get an ace there......
and speaking of 16, Norman's shot there was probably the worst shot
I've ever seen made at that hole......think he was puckering a little?!?!
poor bastahd...

2076.30 | | SCAMP::MCCRACKEN | | Mon Apr 15 1996 15:44 | 8 |
| My heart went out to Norman yesterday, Faldo did play well and
deserved to win, but Norman gave it away! I don't think I would
have been able to give an interview after leaving the tent just
after the match but I don't think he had much choice...I give him
a lot of credit, he really gave Faldo, what appeared to be, a very
sincere congratulations after it was over...he has a lot of class.

2076.31 | agggg | STOWOA::tavo.ogo.dec.com::ODIAZ | Octavio Diaz | Wed Apr 17 1996 14:40 | 7 |
| Wow, what a blow out! It was painful to watch.
I'm sorry to say this, since Norman has always been one of my picks, but I
would be very surprised if he ever wins another major tournament.
Last joke(?) heard: Reebok has all its golf shirts on sale, they are too
tight in the collar.

2076.32 | Watch! | STOWOA::tavo.ogo.dec.com::ODIAZ | Octavio Diaz | Thu Apr 18 1996 16:46 | 8 |
| In the Boston Globe today Norman when asked about his chances in this week's
tournament at Harbor Town in Hilton Head, responded: "Watch!"
It will never erase last Sunday's performance, but coming back and doing well
after that will definitely help him, and the image everyone has of him: "Greg
Nomore"
