With 18 holes of (hopefully) scintillating golf left to play there is only one winner of the Masters as far as the Betfair markets are concerned:-
and the Leaderboard looks like this after 3 rounds:-
Anyone who follows golf will know that the Augusta National is a potential banana skin of a golf course on the last day of The Masters - just ask Mr McIlroy! They call the third round 'Moving Day' and so it was for our friend Mickelson, a quite fantastic eagle and a well taken birdie at the 18th moved him into what proved to be the last pairing for today's round.
Mathematically he is reckoned to have a 36% chance of winning by the odds available, and I personally think that's a price to lay at. I'm not suggesting that he won't win the tournament... merely that he will almost certainly trade higher at some point during proceedings.
As a small punt I'm having a fiver on McIlroy to finish in the top 5, 25 at the time of writing. This is being a bit silly I know, but I did make a shed load by laying him for a top five position at this stage last year when he was 4 shots clear so I regard this as a 'self funding' punt!
