US Masters Odds, The Weekend

April 7, 2012

So, with two rounds down at a surprisingly benign Augusta things are starting to become a little more clear in terms of potential winners.

The victory at Pebble Beach was dominant, skilful and powerful, and in the minds of many was reminiscent of the young Tiger in the assurance shown. [...]

Steve Williams, the caddie dumped by Tiger Woods earlier today, has reacted angrily to the news that he will no longer partner the former world number one after 12 years of service. Williams has been by Wood’s side for the majority of his career and was there to celebrate 13 of hiss 14 major wins, but has found himself surplus to requirements as the American goes in search of recovering the form he lost through injury and distractions in his personal life.
