Masters--early leans

[EarlySpeed]

These props are available at betwwts with no prices

verplank over faxon

verplank is fast out of the gate in his last 2 appearances here (avg 69.5) and finished a very nice 5th in the TPC. Faxon no slouch but think there will be some <value> in Verplank

dimarco over howell

same deal with Dimarco--fast off the mark(67.5!!) in last 2 Masters and playing extremely well (in top 10 last 2 events)
Expect a short price however

estes over choi

Historically first time players shoot an average of 75 or 3 over the first time they tee it up at Augusta. This is Chois first time and even though he seems to be an up and comer Estes has the experience. Last 2 years Bob has come out of the gate with a 72.5 avg.-respectable and maybe a decent price

Lehman over Rose

Rose is another first timer who if he shoots around the historical first round average,would be vulnerable to Tom.

Comments or input or insider info welcome. Realize it is very early for this shit but hey--its the MASTERS!!!

 

speed
rose is going to be a champion
dont like that one at all and lehman is as old as me

the other is dimarco
i dont think he has the patience to do well here

not trying to be <henlike> but just my opinion

 

just for you buddy because nobody loves this as much as me

 

btw
estes over choi look good

sea

like rose but historically even the greats need a few rounds to adjust to this joint

dimarco is a fast starter--dont like him to go all the way

lehman only 43?-

The prices will dictate the interst in these...

btw--do you know any books that have first round props with prices now???

 

lehman will have a long week
i am 50
lehman looks older

 

five dimes is usually the first
