The 2017 Masters Tournament is upon us. The azaleas are in bloom, the magnolias look magnificent and the fake
bird chirps are teed up and ready to be pumped in to the broadcast on CBS this weekend!
Here are a few intrepid predictions.
1.
Dustin Johnson; despite his bad back, will win.
2.
Jordan Spieth will win.
3.
Rory McElroy will win .
4.
Okay, one of these three will win, you can have the field.
5.
Tony Romo will appear in the broadcast booth with Jim Nance. Sir
Nick Faldo should beware. (has anyone
spotted Phil Simms anywhere lately?)
6.
The Golden Bell, i.e., the 12th hole in Amen Corner, will bedevil one
of the golfers on he leaderboard on Sunday.
However it will not be a problem for Jordan Spieth.
7.
Sergio Garcia will make a run at the title. But will come up just short
once again in his quest for his first major title.
8.
The weather will be a factor for a change at Augusta.
9.
The highlight of Danny Willett’s 2017 Masters will be the ingestion of
mini cottage pies and Yorkshire pudding at the Champions Dinner Wednesday night.
10.
Many tears will be shed for looking at the opening shot ceremony for the
late, great King, Arnold Palmer whose total of four green jackets is surpassed
only by golf’s GOAT, Jack Nicklaus..
11. Tiger Woods and his inability to
play in this year's Masters will be a constant source of conversation
12. Gary McCord,
the other missing golf personality of note, will be home, waxing his mustache,
serving his lifelong ban from the masters broadcast for the unpardonable sin of
remarking that the Augusta greens were treated with bikini wax 23 years ago; he
hasn’t been allowed back in the booth at Augusta since. #Free Gary McCord.
