The 2011 US Masters is just around the corner. The world’s greatest players such as Tiger Woods, Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and many more are all brought together at Augusta this week in search of that ever elusive Green Jacket. Who will walk away victorious?
Tiger Woods is always the player to beat despite his questionable life style. I would place my money somewhere else as he has been slipping down the world rankings but who know? Tiger has one this prestigious tournament four times, is one of three men to win this tournament back to back (Nicklaus, Faldo) and is favored to do it again. Tiger has always been the king of upsets and has more qualifications than any other golfer in the tournament and what better time to come out of his slump?
Phil Mickelson is the lefty who won it all last year and has one the coveted Green Jacket for the third time in his career and would love nothing more than to take home his fourth and become the first golfer since 2001 and 2002 to pick up two consecutive wins at Augusta Nationals. He is a part of an elite group of eight people who have gotten the job done three times in their career. One more win and he would most certainly become a golf legend.
Martin Kaymen is currently the best golfer in the world. Literally. Kaymar is ranked number one after having the best twelve months of his golf career including his taking of the USPGA Championship last season and is the only one with a Grand Slam title having won last years PGA Championship.
Luke Donald has also had some great success recently with his win in the WGC World Match Play and is more than capable of wearing the Green Jacket home.
Lee Westwood has also been right there in the midst of it all and is expected to have another great week in Augusta.
In conclusion, there is no telling how this one is going to turn out. Tiger has the odds in his favor but Mickelson, Westwood, and Kaymer are close behind. This years Masters is guaranteed to be an emotional rollercoaster with all the greats battling it out to the final hole.
