Dark horses to contend at Augusta

Looking a little further down to the board to find some value this week:

Cameron Smith (+9000 to win / +550 top 10)

- Pretty generous odds for someone who has a few Masters under his belt now (55th, 5th, 55th) and really doesn't have a weakness in his game. Would not be surprised to see him on the first page of the leaderboard.

Jason Kokrak (+10000 to win / +550 top 10)

- Never like picking a first-timer at Augusta, but his length and high right to left shot shape set up well.

Lee Westwood (+10000 to win / +550 top 10)

- Will he ever get it done in a Major? Several close calls here (6 top 11's in L8 appearances) and playing solid golf despite missing the cut in Houston (Top 20 in 6 of 7 starts prior).

Ian Poulter (+12500 to win / +750 top 10)

- Putter will need to be hot as he lacks distance, but finished 6th, 5th, and 12th in last 3 starts coming in and has 3 top 12's and only 1 MC in last 9 Masters appearances.

Corey Conners (+15000 to win / +900 top 10)

- Very strong ball striker and a solid bet to win 'Top Canadian'.

Anyone else outside of 'the favorites' jumping out at you guys?

I like the Corey Connors play.

As far as long shots, well I got 2. 

Louis H. Something tells me he still isnt over the runner up finish from 2012. He contends well in majors, especially at Augusta.  I look for him to have a strong showing.

Jason Kokrak. Currently #3 on the tour in putting. A lot of demand on the dance floor. If he can nail his irons onto the green, then his short game overall will be justified.  

Good luck 

There are 3 dark horses, but I won?t bet any: 

1. Corey Conners: The reasons you point out are it. His putter is weak, but everyone?s putter is weak at the Masters. 

2. Cameron Champ. On a year where length is more key than ever, Champ has an edge. 

3. Sebastian Mu?oz: Guy is on a heater and his odds should be lower. 

The reason Im not taking any is because I doubt that even any of this guy?s A+ game can beat the top of the pack?s B game in this course. Now, if any of the alpha wolves in the top plays A+ these 3 guys have zero chances.

Bubba Wstson is really playing well under the radar.
