There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding my continuous writing on golf this semester for the Quill. But guess what, I don’t care, and this is The Masters. Let’s get down to business…

The Masters – a tradition unlike any other.

• April 11th – 14th

Par 3 Contest Winner

In the 59 year history of the competition, the winner of the Par 3 Contest has never went on to win The Masters as well. I think that speaks for itself. (photo via Scott K.Brown/Augusta National)

Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer

These two may be old, but trust me when I say they still have plenty of game. Couples and Langer are both previous Masters champions. You can bet on both making the cut, and I wouldn't doubt both being in contention come late 3rd, early 4th rounds. Neither will win, but don't be surprised when you see two 60-year-old men atop the Masters leaderboard. (photo via pinterest.com)

Rickie Fowler

Coming off a runner-up finish at last year's Masters, Rickie is poised to gain one position this time around. He's fresh off a win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, plus, he hasn't missed a cut in over a year. Look for him to be in his Sunday orange and atop the leaderboard. (photo via skysports.com)

YOUR WINNER (my pick):

Brooks Koepka

The dude is a stone-cold killer. He wins every time he plays and he only plays in majors. You do the math. #dubs
