US Masters Golf - Review of Day 1
11/04/08 12:17 Filed in: Sports Betting
At the end of Day 1 at Augusta, Justin Rose and Tervor Immelman share the lead on four under par, both having carded a 68 in good conditions at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA.
I love the Masters, ever since been a child I have been mesmerized by the green fairways and white sand bunkers of Augusta. Being a golfer myself, watching the best golfers in the world attack what must be one of the most famous courses in the world is a dream.
The course has been lengthened yet again this year and is now over 7500 yards. There are a lot of Par 4s that a lot of club golfers would struggle to reach in three, even leaving the professional golfers such as Justin Rose, good drives and long irons into Par 4 greens.
The current leaderboard for below par players at the end of day one is as follows.
-4
Rose, Immelman
-3
Westwood, Bateman, Snedeker
-2
Poulter, Ames, Johnson
-1
Singh, Oberholster, Lonard, O'Meara, Solcum, Mickelson, Casey, Goosen
Great to see Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter high up the leaderboard. Poulter had an amazing hole in one on the Par 3 16th. He hit it out right onto the bank and then the ball rolled straight into the hole, this resulted in him shooting a 2 under Par 70.
Tiger Woods is well in contention at EVEN. He had a bit of a mixed round, playing some bad shots and also not getting the run of the ball on others. Putts lipped out on what was a very uneventful level Par round for Tiger.
My betting partner of choice for the Masters is Bet365. They have some great odds for the Masters and I have money on Justin Rose, Padraig Harrington, and of course Tiger Woods. Padraig did not have the best round but I am feeling good for my bets going into day two.
