Stake 3.15 pts Luke Donald -105 over Robert Karlsson (thegreek)

Karlsson has not done too much since his win in January in Qatar and has been battling injury as well. Bob has failed to get it going on the PGA Tour this season in only a few starts. Although Augusta should be a good venue for him, he has only one good start here and with his up and down form the past 6 months I like the consistent Donald beat Karlsson.

Stake 3pts Tim Clark +100 over Matt Kuchar (Ties lose, Stan James)

I liked this matchup before the pairing came out and this just enhances the play. What a tough task for Kuchar playing in the same group as Woods. The crowds will be enormous and it will be har to stay focused. Kuchar has only played with Woods twice before, so this will be a challenge. As far as Tom Clark goes, he has not had a good year thus far but with a 2nd place finish here and the ability to play tough courses well I would certainly give the big advantage to Tim this week.

Stake 3.33 pts Nick Watney -111 over Dustin Johnson (Ekpekt)

Johnson seems to be the trendy pick this week but I think this is a tough matchup for him. Watney has not played his best this year but has had some good finishes already this season and has finished in th top 20 in his two starts at Augusta. In Johnson's debut last year he finished t30, not bad. At a pick'em I certainly like Watney over the unpredictable bomber.

Stake 3.33 pts Anthony Kim -111 over Camilo Villegas (Expekt)

Here is another pick'em that I don't understand. We have Kim who is coming off of a win, a player who has it all. He also finished t20 in his Masters debut. Villegas has played poorly since winning last month putting up some big numbers at Bay Hill. He has two MC at Augusta in the last three years but to his credit played very well a year ago. The big difference here is short game. A Kim was 1st in putting last week, althogh he must drive it better than he did last week but at the same time you can get away with that at Augusta more than Houston so that just goes to show how good the rest of his game was last week.

Stake 2pts Louis Oosthuzen +140 over Charl Schwartzel (unibet)

As well has Scwartzel has been playing his fellow South African has been playing just as well, picking up an impressive win a few weeks ago and some top 5 finishes (albeit against lesser competition). I will take the good odds here as Schwartzel is making his debut and Oosthuizen played last year, 73-77 MC. Augusta is not very kind in players debuting so take the "underdog" here.

Stake 2.6 pts Adam Scott -130 over Alvaro Quiros (the greek)

Quiros admitted the course overwhelmed him a year ago and he was quite frustrated. Scott meanwhile has played the course the past eight years only missing the cut twice. Scotts game appears to be coming back with some good starts recently.

Stake 2.44 pts Bernhard Langer -122 over Tom Watson (pinnacle) 

Both players have a bunch of MC's recenlty but I think Watson is getting a little too much respect in this matchup from his British Open finish. Watson was a british opens specialist and this week he goes up against the Augusta National specialist. Big advantage here for the German.

Stake 1 pt Trevor Immelman +150 over John Senden (5dimes)

Stake 1pt Sergio Garcia +115 over Rory McIlroy (wsex)
