value on bradley

I know the odds are against him from a standpoint of winning in your 1st try at augusta , or winning the 1st 2 majors you play in, but at 65/1 , with the way he has been playing this year , isn't he tremendous value at 65/1 to win the masters???

Not really.  He is still very young, and hasn't shown anything that impressive this year to date.  He is not a great shot shaper by any stretch...more of a pound the shit out of the ball kind of guy...which isn't exactly what Augusta demands.

Biggest reason IMO that Bradley will struggle is putting...T67 this year so far...and finished 2011 at T98th. 

to me though 65/1 on a guy who is 7th in par 5 scoring and has the ability with his length to turn Augusta into a par 68 (there are others in the field that can do this as well , they are just not 65/1) is value

as for his ytd performace , 7 top 25's is pretty consistenet , and if  he can lose in a playoff at Riveria , why can't he do well at Augusta? After all Riveria , is called Hogan's Alley for a reason , you have to be able to shape tee shots and approach shots in order to succed there. If he can have succes on a tighter course like Riveria , shaping the ball around Augusta will not be the issue.

Yeah,. the putter may derail him in the end , but, he has shown ability to make putts down the stretch of golf tournamnets as well

I just think at that course , at that price , he is value

Faldo , Mickelson , Couples , Love III and Calc are all names that have had success at Augusta , i know Love III and Calc never won there but both had a lot of good finishes. Those players all had success at Riveria as well, some in the same year , just something to watch.

Phil has helped the kid along a bit , and my guess is he will give him some tidbits about Augusta , and since Tiger ain't telling anyone about the golf course , Phil is the best guy on tour to get info from about Augusta
