Masters 2011 Leaderboard Will Hold Several Big Names, Will Bubba Watson Be One of Them?

When you talk about the contenders for the green jacket, the names Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods immediately come up.

Watson doesn't tee off until 1:15 p.m. EST, but when he does, I think we're going to see a course that is going to play well for the American.
