Some of the more noteable 1st round pairings:

11 1 9:50 M. Weir R. Goosen T. Hamilton
12 1 10:01 J. Olazabal D. Toms L. Donald
13 1 10:12 V. Singh H. Stenson A. Oberholser
14 1 10:23 T. Woods E. Molinari R. Allenby
27 1 1:08 C. DiMarco S. Garcia G. Ogilvy
29 1 1:30 P. Mickelson S. Katayama E. Els
30 1 1:41 D. Love III A. Cabrera A. Scott

The ones that jump out at me...

Mickelson with Els, pretty cool.
Love, Cabrera, Scott... nice match-up of big hitters
Olazabal, Toms, Donald... nice match-up of not-so-big hitters. Should be a comfortable pairing for these players.

Jose along with Donald and Toms is a really nice match up, should be worth an each way bet on 2 of those three guys!
I,m going to stick a couple of $s each way on ..........Faldo as well, my local betting shop is offering 300-1, its got to be worth a little gamble?

I just got back from Vegas. The easiest bet of the week was Retief Goosen just to finish in the top ten, was at -110 odds. I was like "you're kidding, right?" Dude hasn't finished outside in the top 10 in a major in like 2 years, and he's playing really good right now. Just talked to my friend out there...money is going hard on Goosen and Mickelson. Odds for those two guys are going down like the UCLA Bruins last night.

Ben Crane in the second group of the day. Not exactly the best pacesetter.

I also noticed open times at 10:45am and 12:13pm. I am going to call the Augusta tee time reservation office, and grab one of them. Anyone free to play Thursday??

Now THAT would add some more excitement to the toonamint!!

Martha loves the course changes. She bombs it off the tee.

They should have put Ben Crane at that 10:34 a.m. tee slot. This way, you wouldn't have to worry about any group waiting constantly right behind him. Although odds are by the 4th or 5th hole, that 10:56 grouping will have caught up to them.

That is what you guys would call a "no brainer" surely that has got to be the best odds I ever seen for a "top of the tree" player, they won,t stay at those odds for long as so many folks will have a piece of that!
Best I,ve seen for Goosen is 20-1 to win and I think thats not too bad!

I'd like to follow either the Weir-Goosen-Hamilton group or the one right after them, Olazabel-Toms-Donald. With those groups you're bound to see some great shot-making and course management. Probably not the groups with most "personality" you could follow, but sure to provide good golf!

If I would have saw 20-1 I would have jumped on that so fast. A lot of books now I've seen have him down to 8-1 or 9-1, but 20-1 would have been bargain. I also may take a chance on DiMarco at 50-1. Might be worth the $10 risk.

And for Droogy too; I could not see why they were offering Goosen so high in comparison to Phil and Tiger! ok they are both the favorites at this moment but Tiger was at 5-2 and Phil was at 11-2, not really goods odds for the small time guy like me but to offer such a gap between Goosen and those two was a little bit generous!
I took Goosen at 20-1 for 5 GBPS each way and a little flutter on Faldo @ 300-1?????? AND stuck a Tenner on Ollie!

Great to see Super Rod PAmpling in the first group after all the concern about whether he would be playing!
