Major Championships - Home

Starting Thursday, The 2005 Masters begins with a solid field.

Obviously, Phil Mickelson is straight off a fresh win, so he is a favorite, along with being last years Masters Champion. Tiger Woods is having a hot season as well as the #1 in the world, Vijay Singh. Then, of course, we have Ernie Els who has a solid 2005 season going for him. After yesterdays excruciating finish, I wouldn’t mind seeing Jose Maria Olazabal make a move this year.

I am involved in the Sportsline Fantasy Golf Challenge and my Top 5 picks for this years Masters are:

• Tiger Woods
• Phil Mickelson
• Fred Couples
• Mark O’Meara
• Ryan Moore

I mean, you can’t go wrong with Fred Couples. I think he has made the cut every year he has been there plus he is a fan favorite. Then you have Ryan Moore, who has won nearly every amateur event you can think of in 2004.

Lets see what Mr. Moore has won last year

• The U.S. Amateur
• The Western Amateur
• The NCAA Championship
• The Sahalee Players Championship
• The U.S. Amateur Public Links

He did that in a series of months in 2004, and he is 22. He even thinks that he has a strong chance at taking the Masters Championship.. You know what, I wouldn’t put it past him with that resume he has already built up. He will be a strong contender I think.
