Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are tied for top spot going into this weekend at the 2010 Masters.
Poulter shot a -4 round for the second day at the Masters for an -8 total. Lee Westwood's 69 yesterday combined with his first round 67 tied him with Poulter atop the leaderboard.
Sitting two back is everyone's favorite golfer Phil Mickleson. Among the golfers tied with Phil at -6 is Ricky Barnes.
A note about Barnes, talk about a big event golfer. Ricky barely kept his card last year but is at the Masters due to his stellar performance at the 2009 US Open where he challenged right up until the last day for the title.
The most talked about golf story of this years Masters surrounded the play of 50 year old Fred Couples and 60 year old Tom Watson. After Day One they were sitting one and two, but after disappointing second rounds they are tied for ninth at -3.
I would love to pick either Watson or Couples to win this year's Green Jacket, but I do think the winner will be Ian Poulter.
For the last couple of years the flamboyant Brit has challenged in several major events, but fell short. Why do I pick him to win this year? Easy. Earlier in the season Poulter captured the grueling Match Play title. Now that he has won a "tough" event he knows what it takes to get the job done on Sunday.
Other possible winners include Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood. But, it sure would be nice to see Watson or Couples don the Green Jacket.
