Every year at this time, right when I realize how garbage my bracket turned out to be, I immediately say to myself, “Man, I’d love to shoot a 120 at Augusta.” Just the way the course looks on TV, I can only imagine TV doesn’t do it justice. I picture myself playing alongside of family members and it makes me smile. There is something special that I just can’t put my finger on it.
For the first time since 1994, neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson will be playing. Don’t worry, Scottie Scheffler is
around despite his wife giving birth just two weeks ago. Then there is defending champion Rory McIlroy, who completed the career grand slam with last year’s victory. If I’m taking one guy to win it, I’m going a little outside the box and picking Ludvig Åberg. Dude has been playing really solid golf the last couple of years. In the meantime…here are your flakes…
