Kiwis love sport and the US Masters is one of those sporting traditions that excite any true sport lover. The history, the nail bitting suspense and the golf betting extravaganza have us glued to the television year after year.

This year it appears that it’s going to be the Tiger Woods show as the worlds greatest ever golfer returns from his self imposed exile. He has been put through a very public wringing, and now deserves to be left alone to do what he does best. I say, let his golf do the talking.

New Zealand has a proud history in the world of golf. Turner, Noblio and who could ever forget the heroics of Michael Campbell in the British Open. We might not have a champion golfer on the world tour at the moment but Korean-born Danny Lee who hails from Rotorua is certainly one of New Zealand’s most exciting prospects. He became the youngest ever winner of the US Amateur title at the tender age of 18 and he was the number one amateur in the world before he turned pro in April last year.
