If you were like me and had money on the likes of Rickie Fowler (+8), Adam Scott (+4), or Bubba Watson (+3), you probably cursed more at your TV last night than Ernie Els did watching another putt go past the hole.
Fowler's chances of being there at the business end on Sunday look increasingly slim - and while Bubba Watson could do something - it's perhaps the right time to jump ship and look at other players so you retain an interest in the weekend's proceedings.
It's a great time to do it too. You've seen how the players are playing on the course less than 24 hours ago, and it's much easier to choose from that than to try and follow the form book or course records or what have you.
Here are four of the best bets you can still make after day one of the Masters:
Rory McIlroy to win 11/2
I acknowledge that I did warn people to shy away from Rory at the start of the event. Now that he's four shots back from his main rival, he's suddenly worth backing?
Yes he is.
The doubts over McIlroy coming into the Masters was whether his form was good enough. After round one, with four birdies and an eagle showing that he's very close to top form. He's got the better draw this morning with less wind scheduled, and there aren't too many contenders between himself and Jordan Spieth.
McIlroy showed that he can cut through this course last year by shooting the lowest score over the final three days to finish fourth. He's not coming from as far back this time.
Jason Day to win 10/1
Much like McIlroy, Day showed that he can tear through this course - getting to five under late on his back nine before a dreadful closing.
The Australian can put that behind him easily and continue his good form, and I'm backing him to charge up the leaderboard. Like McIlroy, he's getting the easier weather conditions compared to Spieth who will be out as the wind strengthens.
Shane Lowry to be the leader after round 2 w/o Spieth 6/1
No one expected much out of Shane Lowry this weekend. His first visit to the Masters came last year with a meek missed cut, so when he came out of the blocks at such a blistering pace then we should take notice.
In a market that doesn't involve Jordan Spieth, Lowry is joint leader and is only rated as a 6/1 shot? Sounds like value to me.
Charley Hoffman to finish in the top 10 7/2
One tip from the pre-tournament that I'm sticking to. Hoffman made the first eagle of the day at the 13th hole, and is nicely positioned at tied 13th. He seems to play really well around Augusta, so his pre-tournament odds of 10/1 to match last year's ninth place finish seemed unusually generous from the bookies. You can still get in on the action with a nice 7/2 price.
