Mr. Smiley Pants and little Mike

One the eve of the 2006 Masters it is good to reflect on the back to back lefties who got fitted for green jackets in 2004 &2005. Phil comes into town fresh off a 13 stroke victory defending his title at the Bellsouth Classic. Wier and Steve Flesch along with Mickelson give us Southpaws hope as we begin the most exciting week in golf.

That Woods guy is going to be in town as well. My pick for the week is Retief Goosen, not a lefty, but coming off a #2 place at the Players, a #3 place at the Bellsouth.

Retief's last four finished at the Masters:

2005 3rd Place
2004 13th Place
2003 13th Place
2002 2 Place

He might just be due. If not Woods or Mickelson should do.

Here's to another year and hopefully another finish like the last few.
