No way was it as such going into the tournament, but my money's now on Adam Scott to wrap it up.. I know, I know.. Going out on a limb. He's just playing too well to do something as horrific as it would take to lose this thing. I expect several of the guys to go low and put some pressure on him. McDowell, Tiger, Zach, and even Bubba & Dustin should be able to put a scare into these guys by posting a -7 or -8 early. Of course if the wind blows (and we all know the wind can really blow over there), that's even more of an advantage for Adam Scott.

Should be interesting!!

This is one of my favorite weeks of the year. Someone said "if there's a golf course in Heaven, it would look just like Augusta National", and I believe it.

Here are a few good articles to get you pumped up for the 2012 Masters, which begins today, Thursday, April 5:

• Hype vs. Reality -- By Mike McAllister, PGATOUR.COM Managing Editor

• Tiger Woods Focused on Five -- By Gene Wojciechowski | ESPN.com

• Solving the Mystery of Augusta's Greens -- By Thomas Bonk

• The Field - Pairings

• PGA Tour's Expert Picks

• Masters Dot Com for all your online coverage..

My two foursomes for ESPN's Best Ball Majors Challenge are: (1) Mickelson, Couples, Stricker, and Wagner --and-- (2) Woods, McIlroy, Clarke, and Yang.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Black Sabbath

Yep - I'm sure you're aware of the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing where you name two actors/actresses/celebrites, and figure out how, in fact, they are connected. Now we have Six Degrees of Black Sabbath, which may or may not include Black Sabbath.

Click the link above or the image header.. then input two artists, musicians, bands, rockers, etc., and hit enter.

Here are some of the more interesting ones I tried:

• Staind & Chevelle
• Mike Portnoy & Neil Peart
• Bruce Dickinson & Barry Manilow
• Sully Erna & Lars Ulrich
• Five Finger Death Punch & Celine Dion

Have fun!
