Gary Smits from Florida Times Union also calls in from the Masters to talk about the Par 3 contest that went on today. Ended in a 3 way tie and eventually won by Ted Potter Jr. Gary talks about the odds makers have Tiger at 7-2 and McIlroy at 12-1.

Brian Hewitt, Global Golf Post Editor, calls in from Orlando to talk to Holly and Jeff Shain about his thoughts on the Masters. Since Global Golf Post is international, Holly has Brian go down the list of hot players country by country. He favors McIlroy and McDowell. Doesn't think Luke Donald's first major will be at the Masters.

He really likes Adams Scott and is his second choice after Tiger. He really likes how the tournament has set up for Adam Scott. No Australian has won the Masters, Greg Norman has come the closest.

Doesn't think Angel Cabrera and Sergio will do well. Cabrera since he hasn't played well lately and Sergio might have overplayed prepping for the Masters. Global Golf Post is publishing daily during the Masters.

Todd Lewis, The Golf Channel, wraps up the show talking to Holly and Jeff from Augusta. About 100 people from the Golf Channel are there covering the Masters. Holly talks to Todd about Tiger Wood's numbers not statistically boding well for him headed into the Masters compared to last year. But Todd points out that he only had one win last year and this year he had 5 already. He's holding more trophies and has the confidence.

Phil Mickelson's Frankenwood has a lot of workability and almost the same length of the Driver. Tianlang Guan Is the Youngest Player Ever to Compete at Masters Tournament.

Todd goes over the American picks, Keegan Bradley is high on Todd's radar. Keegan is much more prepared for his second Masters and gets a lot of advice from Phil Mickelson. Bubba turned in his green jacket a couple weeks ago and Todd says he is hungry again for another title.

Jeff likes either Tiger, Phil Justin Rose to win the Masters and Holly's picks are Justin Rose or Adam Scott to win.
