The Masters - Boards.ie Guess The Winner Competition

Mister Sifter

Adiaga 2 used to run this brilliantly. I'll try have a stab at getting one going for the Masters, but don't blame me if it all goes tits up!!

The jist of it is...

You get 5 picks as follows:

1. Top 5 - One pick from the top five in the official world golf rankings - Woods, Mickelson, Stricker, Westwood, Furyk

2. British/Irish - One pick from Ireland/Britain (not in the world top 5)

3. Other European - One pick from the European entrants for the tournament(not in the world top 5 or from Britain or Ireland)

4. American - One pick from the American entrants for the tournament (not in the world top 5)

5. Rest of the World - One pick from the non-American and non-European entrants (again not in the world top 5)

A list of players entered can be found @ www.masters.com.

Picks missing the cut will be given worst round +1 for rounds 3 & 4.

Your entries must be in before 12 noon on Thursday.

I'll try and put together a league table after each round*

1. Top 5 - Westwood
2. British Irish Harrington
3. European - Quiroz
4. American - Perry (Kenny)
5. Rest of the World - Schwartzel

Any chance of an additional British/Irish category in there?

Mister Sifter

Good going on the entries so far folks. Keep it going. A few people have done a Sheet though and need to alter their choices. See below:

Jabber - you need to change your other European choice to a non-Irish/UK player

Billy3sheets - you need to add an Irish/Uk option

Stockdam - Mickelson not allowed as your American as he's top 5 in the world

Scrubber - change your European choice to a none Irish/Uk player

RebelGirl - Furyk not a valid pick for American as he's top 5 in the world.

Bosco Boy - JB Holmes isn't in the Masters

Madds - Change your European to a non Irish / Uk player

Staker - Mickelson not valid for US choice as he's top 5 in the world

Top 5: Westwood
British/Irish: Poulter
