“I’ve had a fantastic couple of days thus far preparing and my game feels great”, said the Texan. “I’m just going to go through my normal game plan and just play, try and play the way I have been, and hopefully I’ll give it a good run at the end of the week”. The major championship propelled Spieth, now 22 years old, to the top of the rankings.

With all the fuss being made over defending champion Jordan Spieth, PGA champion Jason Day and four-time major victor Rory McIlroy, the pick here is Fowler, the 2015 Players Championship and victor of three tournaments world-wide since then.
Among the clothes he packed was the green jacket that had been hanging in his closet at home in Dallas for much of the year.
After shooting to fame at the 2014 Masters, before winning his first ever major at the Augusta National course a year later, Jordan Spieth, despite a 2015is not the favorite to win the green jacket this year.
Tom Watson’s goal for his final Masters is no different from every tournament in which he’s played since 1971, the year he turned pro. “I want to be a part of that conversation”, McIlroy said.
He spoke with a few other players, but seemed dialed in as he put in the last work before his 12:23 tee time Thursday. I like the 20/1 offered on the three-time victor who knows this course inside out. Since Tiger Woods won the Masters in 1997, only Schwartzel and Mike Weir (2003) have won the year’s first major championship having never won a major tournament before or ending the previous year ranked outside of the top 20. A year ago he turned up undercooked.
If you don’t side with Spieth, that might leave one of the more interesting golfers in the field as one of your best bets – Dustin Johnson.
“When you see these kids play out here and see them carry the ball 280 and 290 yards off the tee, it’s time to say I can’t compete with them”. A very consistent player, selling his finishing position at 29 with Sporting Index would have returned a profit in five out of the last six years.
“You would think that this was a golf course that I can definitely win on, I know that”.
“I’m very impressed about how they play the game, but I’m equally impressed by how they handle themselves outside of just playing the game. That’s the way I look at it”. “I think we all appreciate what he’s done for the game of golf over the years.

I’ve played a lot growing up from junior golf where I grew up in, to college being in Oklahoma can get a little windy there and then where I live now in Florida I play a lot in the wind there”, Fowler said. “So there’s no time like the present to get it done”.
