While The Masters <\/a>has a way of getting the best out of the world\u2019s best, it\u2019s always possible a dark horse will emerge to don the green jacket. There\u2019s no guarantee that it will be Phil, Tiger, Lee, Martin or Vijay sporting a new coat come Monday. Here\u2019s a quick look at five dark horses who could have a special week at Augusta.<\/p>\n

Steve Marino \u2013 He\u2019s super talented and capable of holding a lead on Sunday. He\u2019s never closed it out before but man would this be the week to learn he has it in him.<\/p>\n

Aaron Baddeley \u2013 Baddeley had been written off at the start of this season but has put together a nice year and even picked up a win in Los Angeles. There was a time when he had the potential to dominate weeks like this. Him winning would be a big surprise but not a total out-of-nowhere shock.<\/p>\n

K.J. Choi \u2013 Because we still think he\u2019s a better player than Y.E. Yang. Choi will win a major at some point. His discipline and ball striking make him a contender this week.<\/p>\n

Ryan Palmer \u2013 \u00a0I don\u2019t have any numbers or real concrete reasons to support this one. I just think Palmer is going to play well enough to be a factor during the weekend. Call it my hunch pick.<\/p>\n

Brandt Snedeker \u2013 Sneds has a T41 and a T3 in his two previous starts at The Masters. He has a knack for the course.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
