When it comes to picking the winner for the 79th Masters, everyone has an opinion.
So do we.
Here are the choices from the AJC team covering the event at Augusta National Golf Club all week.
Jeff Schultz
Winner: Jordan Spieth
Dark horse: Matt Kuchar
Why: Spieth came close last year and he's playing as well as anybody right now, but Kuchar has made Sunday in Augusta interesting a few times.

Tom Stinson
Winner: Rory McIlroy
Dark horse: Lee Westwood
Why: This is the only major to elude McIlroy and his time is now. Sure, Westwood's 41 but he shows up almost every Sunday here.

Chip Towers
Winner: Jason Day
Dark horse: Chris Kirk
Why: Day finished second the first time he teed it up here and is the No. 1 overall player on the tour statistically.
—-
Doug Roberson
Winner: Adam Scott
Dark horse: Tiger Woods
Why: It's too easy to pick Rory McIlroy or Bubba Watson. Considering that he hasn't won here in seven years, Woods should be considered a dark horse.

Ray Cox
Winner: Phil Mickelson
Dark horse: Keegan Bradley
Why: One last hurrah for the three-time champ, coming off a solid performance at Houston. I've had this picture in my head for a while of Bradley in a green jacket.
