Welcome fwends, to our coverage of Sunday at the Masters. The leaders are underway, and already Immelman (-10) and Snedeker (-8) have given a stroke back to the field (which is struggling a bit itself). Continue after the jump a breakdown of the leaders and contenders, as well as an updated leaderboard.

i>The Leaders

Brandt Snedeker -10: My boy Snedy just eagled the second hole to jump into a tie with his playing partner. Unfortunately I was trying to place a bet and write a post at the same time, so I didn't hit confirm until after the put went in and the line updated. Current Odds: 7/2 Update: Ouch, terrible lie in the bunker could cost him a stroke.

Trevor Immelman -10: Immelman isn't putting well enough to win the tournament right now. If he doesn't pick it up, he will fade. 3/2

The Contenders


Steve Flesch -8: He's even par so far today, but he's shown the ability to go low, with the only round of 67 in the field. Current Odds: 7/1

Paul Casey -8: Casey is a machine at Augusta and he seems almost incapable of playing poor rounds. Casey should find himself in contention until the end. Current Odds: 5/1

Stewart Cink -6: Of all the guys out there Cink is playing the best golf so far today. He's gained two strokes while the Immelman has given one back. Current Odds: 10/1

Hanging On

Tiger Woods -4: Tiger has been a bit off all week, so the chances of Tiger winning the major from behind for the first time were pretty low (but I'm an idiot). He's compounded his problems by dropping s stroke thanks to a gagged put, something he seemingly never does on Sundays especially at Augusta. Current Odds: 9/1
