Could Matt Willis, ESPN Researcher (alias The Eliminator) actually be right? Can The Masters winner really be picked purely through golf stats?

“Say it ain’t so!” It leaves no room for conquered nerves, gutsy plays, brilliant shot calls, weather warriers… everything that adds up to The Masters magic. But Willis predicted Lee Westwood, and right now he has a 1-shot lead after 54 holes, with a 4-under-par 68.

Full speed ahead, Mr. Eastwood – have a great game tomorrow. And the same goes to all the others  – you can be sure they have no respect whatsoever for golf stats!
