This years Masters is very interesting with a mix of young flare, like Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy, and older guys, like Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson.

Last year’s winner, Jordan Spieth, is considered by many to be poised for another run at the Green Jacket, but there are many others who have solid chances to make a run at the Green Jacket.

The greens could be a little wet for Thursday as rain is expected, but the weather looks good for the rest of the tournament. The big question of the tournament has to be who will separate themselves as the best in the world. Jordan Spieth, Rory Mcllroy and Jason Day have been crowded around the top 3 in the World Golf rankings lately. A win this week would certainly cement one of them as the World’s #1.

My prediction is Phil Mickelson. He has put together a few good weekends this year, including a solid 13th place finish at the Shell Houston Open last weekend. I think Phil has the competitive desire to win another Green Jacket as he winds down a storied career on tour.

This is sure to be a great week and a great tournament!
