Welcome to Round 1 of Sport Predicta!
We will be predicting on many different sports and events over the coming months to see who is Haven's top sport predictor!
Our first event is the Masters golf taking place at Augusta from Thursday to Sunday.
You must pick FIVE players from the list provided and you will score points according to their performance. The world's top 20 players according to the world rankings have been listed in bold. The other players not listed in bold will score DOUBLE POINTS so make your choices wisely.
The scoring system is as follows: Tournament winner: 50 points Runner-up: 25 points Top 5: 20 points Top 10: 15 points Top 20: 10 points Survive cut: 5 points Hole-in-one: 20 points
Remember, the playes not in bold will score double points...
The deadline for this round is midday on Friday (UK time). Don't edit your posts after the deadline or you will score no points.

Where's Colin Montgomerie? He world ranking wasn't quite high enough to earn him automatic qualification and he wasn't given a wild card. Instead, they gave one to some Japansese player to satisfy the Japanese TV market. Personally, I think all Ryder Cup players should gain automatic entries for the following year's majors (especially the one who sinks the winning putt ).
