    The Masters

    This gets underway tomorrow. It's the last vestige of the old south, always fun and this year there are a host of in-form top, top, top players vying for the green jacket.

    The first two days are on Sky and the weekend also on BBC.

    The par 3 contest is underway on Sky and Gary Player is cruising around like a boss as per.

    So is mine.

    Sky in all their wisdom have sent Kirsty Gallacher over, already seen Sandy Lyle ogle her, not going to be a comfortable week for old Kirsty.

    Because Sky I have seen a miniscule amount of golf recently but I didn't think Oosthuizen was still around at all.

    Well he's ranked 11 in the world.

    Gary Player has just made a hole in one, at the age of 80

    Would love to see Jason Day crack this. He's come close before, he's broken the major barrier now, and he's in good form.

    I've gone for:
    £3 on Rickie Fowler to win @ 14/1
    and on Jimmy's instruction, £1e/w on Victor Dibuisson (200) and £1e/w on some Korean fella.

    And 50p on Sandy Lyle @ 1000.

    You'd get more return from that 50p if you used it as a weapon in a bank robbery.

    Betfair are only paying 5 places at 1/5 odds but I can't be arsed signing up elsewhere.

    I've got:

    £1 each way on Oosthuizen at 51.
    50p each way on Smylie Kaufman at 201 (cool name).
    50p each way on Graeme McDowell at 301 (long shot patriotism).
    50p each way on Darren Clarke at 1001 (long shot patriotism).

    The proper live coverage (anywhere) doesn't start until 8pm our time, good old men in green jackets protecting the 'patrons'.

    Fowler already dead by the looks of it, five over.

    Just had a large lay of Spieth. A Day eagle follows

    Ernie managing a 10 including seven putts on the first hole. Mental.

    I've got Yank commentators (fuck knows who they are) giving away zero emotion as Speith wanks one into the rough currently. Its quite glorious.

    They put on 'featured groups' with hired hand commentators, which is when you find out just how bloody slowly the pros play the game.

    I'm gonna watch the 'Amen Corner' coverage tomorrow just as the first group tee off. Can't be any less exciting.

    He has had a tendency for those sorts of nightmares in the last few years, but 7 putts from three feet is something else. I don't think I've ever had more than three from that range, and I am very shit.

    This Bryson DeChambeau bloke pisses me off. Stupid name, stupid hat, stupid frat boy face, fuck off.

    Didn't even know he still played golf. Not sure what the suggestion means though apart from him being Irish, if that's it.

    Well he's currently second in the Masters, so he probably still swings a club now and then.

    I've never seen him smile.

    I couldn't tell you. I vaguely remember him getting a tour win as an amateur and presumed he had been living at the low order of the European tour or retired since.

    But, to humour the storyline, he looks a bit hipster with that beard.

    Bubba having a classic hilarious Bubba meltdown. Could have waited for a week I didn't back him.

    Hopefully Spieth and Day at least manage to both keep it going so we have a Sunday showdown.

    To pump me up for this I went to a mini golf place today.

    I need of those cheater belly putters, I was a shambles.

    Although not as bad as Els.

    You're not allowed to anchor it in your body. You can still use a long putter. Learnhard holds it away from his body.

    Rory's in it. Spieth very poor today, too slow and with a shit attitude, let them all back into it when he could have gone clear.

    Spieth / McIlroy final pairing tomorrow is pretty

    Garcia just isn't ever going to hole enough putts to win.

    Look at the save Speith made on 18 yesterday. That's the kind of thing you need to be doing to win a major, and old Sergio can never get it done (see also Westwood). I'd like to be wrong, but I just can't see either of those two ever winning a major without someone else doing a Van de Velde.

    Reckon McIlroy might have it in him to give Speith a bit of a shoeing today, which probably means he's going to have a spectacular meltdown.

    You called it.

    Seems like it should be easy for Speith now. Most likely challengers? I'd guess that the only way he could possibly lose without falling apart is if Dustin Johnson has a stupid round of eight under or something, of which he's capable if his streakiness comes good. Unlikely though. Day and Matsuyama could probably work their way up the board if things go their way, but it's a big ask.

    5 is a bit close for comfort but I'll give it 9 tomorrow for a start. Both were awful today apart from Spieths putting though.

    At least Spieth ballsed the last two up.

    Really opens the field back up.

    I'm all on the Lee Westwood train tomorrow, he's my last betting glimmer of hope.

    Boydy's done well on Smylie and I'm kicking myself I went for Rickie Fowler instead.

    How's Smylie doing? I've not really followed this.
