*The 50 cut is instead of the +10 rule this year
*Weather looks as if it could have rain on all or most days
*Storms could be around on day 1 (AM)
*Course experience is usually beneficial (I suspect it is why we have a best debutant betting market)

*World No.1 Generally doesn't win this (Woods in the 90's last to do this)
*Dustin Johnson currently world No.1
*I don't back fav's if i was I'd look at Rahm and Koepka
*Winners of the week before generally dont go so well (Ortiz)

*Expect winning score to be between -4 and -8 (closer to -4 though)
*Skybet going 11 places on betting but only top price on a handful of golfers.
*Other sites better odd's for 8/9/10 places - choose carefully.

This weeks picks
FRL :
S. Munoz - 90/1 6 places (Various)
T. Finau - 30/1 8 places
L Oosthuizen - 45/1 8 places
I am using @Betfair this week for Finau and Oosty as they pay 8 places on the FRL market (might be handy with scoring tight and potential for ties early on)

Outright Selections
(7 picks - 3 short, 3 mid & 1 long odds)
Tyrrell Hatton 28/1 9 places William Hill (short price)
Form of his life, never higher in the world than this year, won the Arnold Palmer, scores very well on PAR 4 courses.

Tony Finau 28/1 9 places William Hill (short price)
Frustrating most of the time, occasionally brilliant. Has a great record here in two appearances 10th and 5th.
Lead in form is solid

Webb Simpson 33/1 10 places Betfair (short price)
Gone under the radar, 5 good efforts in the past 12 weeks all in and around the top 10/20. Career best here last year 5th and a nice price with the comfort of 10 places.

Jason Day - 40/1 - 8 places Bet 365 (mid price)
If he is fit, this is a cracking price. 7th last week tells us his game is in good nick.
Course form is solid, 3 top 10's plus 3 further top 20's likes it here and iron game is sound

Justin Rose - 66/1 8 places Bet365 (mid price)
This is a price selection not going to lie, usually 30's for majors. Recent form poor, 17th 3 weeks ago suggests hope.
Great record at Augusta, 4 top 10 plus further 3 top 20's.
Loves Augusta (except last year where he MC'd!)

Jason Kokrak - 75/1 8 places B365 (mid price)
Risky choice as he's a debutant & they generally don't play well for 4 rounds at Augusta (I have him in FRL market), but lead in form is great won the CJ Cup
inside the top 30 for PAR 4 scoring could be one of the better outsiders

Ian Poulter - 125/1 - 8 places - Bet 365 (long odds)
WD from the Houston Open (prior) due to his back not being right so price reflects risk. Good lead in form prior and solid around Augusta
