2010 Masters: Best Matchups
BetUS.com has released its 2010 Masters Best Matchups analysis (see website here) A Tiger Woods matchup is ranked second. Maybe it has something to do with his last 15 matchups being a total disaster (we're talking about the ladies).
The best 2010 Masters matchup, according to BetUS.com's D.S. Williamson:
Ernie Els -140 vs. Padraig Harrington +110 - -
"Ernie's been hot, no doubt, winning the WGC-CA and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He also has a pretty good record at Augusta finishing 2nd in 2000 and 2004, but Paddy has that look about him that I can't ignore. He hasn't won a tournament yet, but I believe he's tried to design his play to peak this week. If he does, then Harrington can certainly win the Masters as he tied for 5th in 2002 and 2008. He's the pick."
As for Tiger Woods, BetUS.com pairs him with Phil Mickelson as the second best matchup.
Phil Mickelson +135 vs. Tiger Woods -165
"I always go against Tiger when it comes to Lefty only because Woods' odds are always so damn low compared to Phil. That's the case again this time. More often than not, Phil has been horrible in 2010 but at least he's been playing. El Tigre, by his own admission in Monday's press conference, might need some time to get his best swing back. He's fit, no doubt, but there's more to golf than being physically fit. I'm going to take a swing on Phil to have his game together better than Tiger this week."
