Phil Mickelson may be 2011 Masters Tournament favorite, but you can never count Tiger Woods out

AUGUSTA - There will be no airplanes flying overhead with signs that mock Tiger Woods. The tabloid world has moved on to Charlie Sheen.

In his address Wednesday, Masters chairman Billy Payne was talking about Augusta National's partnership with Woods on his video game, not chastising the world's best player for his "egregious" conduct. Everyone is taking time to smell the azaleas.

It's a normal Masters again that tees off Thursday, except for one thing. Woods isn't favored and that makes this the first Masters since 1996 where he has not been the story of the week heading into the tournament.

Did I tell yall I went in 2007?  

No.  I should go one year.

So, let's make this fun with picks.  Pick your top 3 in order they'll finish.

1. Woods
2. Westwood
3. Mickelson

E-cred for the winner.  I've got to erase that bb bracket memory.

edit: More coffee.  I really didn't mean "Woosnam", or even know how to pronounce that.

1. Mickelson
2. Els
3. Davis "Dont call it a comeback" Love III

I like McIlroy and would love to see him do well.

C'mon Lefty! I hope an American wins but I have my doubts.

C'mon Lefty! I hope an American wins but I have my doubts.

He'll break your heart.  Those 2-foot putts become pouts.

[Jamos]

I agree, he might have played his Masters at Houston last weekend.

I'm sure you have heard this, but in real life the relief out there is way way more than it seems on TV.  And that grass is a like a carpet.  I think the coolest thing is the no advertisements.  No pepsi, nike, budweiser, nothing.

I'd like to see it.  I've played on great courses, but not there.  Around here your tee has to be drilled into the tee box.  At a quality course, the soil feels like putty.  Oh, and the grass is indeed like a carpet at good courses.  Here it's like my yard.
