Office Favorites:
Adam Scott: Scott coming off last weeks Shell Houston Open arrives at Augusta with the hot hand. This young Aussie has an incredible future ahead of him. Will this week be the week to capture his first Major Championship?
K.J. Choi: Choi makes his 5th straight appearance at the Masters this week. His best finish was third in 2004, and with three top 10 finishes already this season, don't count him out as a top contender for a Major win. (He was also one of our picks from 2006.)
Tiger Woods: Woods loves to compete on the grand stage of Masters Tournament. Woods will go for fifth Green Jacket at Augusta (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005) Winning this week will bring him closer to Jack Nicklaus all time Major wins of 18. Tiger has 12 Major Championship under his belt.
Henrik Stenson: Although he is ranked 6th in the world he is a lesser-known name to many of us who follow the PGA tour. Most of you will recognize him from the World Match Play where he proved to the rest of the world he can play. It will not be a surprise to his name on the leader board on Sunday.
Camilo Villegas: Young gun ready to make his mark as one of the elite players on tour. He will be playing in the Masters for the first time this year. He has not been playing well of late but we like his chances this week.
