Masters Round 1: Fred Couples leads at -6, Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, YE Yang at -5, Tiger Woods and others at -4
A couple weeks ago, Tom Watson predicted that Fred Couples would win the Masters, followed by Lee Westwood in second, and Tiger Woods in third. We doubted Watson’s selection of Couples, but thought Westwood and Woods would contend.
Boy, were we wrong! Watson is looking like a soothsayer right now. Couples shot his lowest round ever at Augusta during the Masters. But what Tom Watson didn’t say was that he, too, would be in contention. That’s awesome, given what happened last year at the British Open.
Sandy Lyle at -3 is the biggest shocker.
We love this leaderboard!!
-6 Fred Couples
-5 Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, YE Yang, KJ Choi
-4 Anthony Kim, Nick Watney, Ian Poulter, Tiger Woods, Rickey Barnes
-3 David toms, Sandy Lyle, Trevor Immelman, Adam Scott, C. Shwartzel
