I'm thinking this is the year of the "unexpected winner."

Oosthuizen - He's on fire with a near loss at the match play two weeks ago. His game is on.
Troy Merritt - Guy is always around the leaders lately.
Stenson - He won't win, but he'll show up and help my 4 man team.
Bill Haas - It could be his week. He's playing well, and was a recent winner.

Jason Day - He'll be in the top 10 and help my team.
Adam Scott - He's red hot and will win by 2 on Sunday afternoon.

Notes:

Phil wouldn't have made it - if not for being a former winner.
Speith needs to get his personal life under control and get back to golf.
Bubba would be a good pick. Left at Augusta is a good thing.
Tiger who?

I like Justin Rose. The Masters is all about the short game.
