The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to the final round of the 2010 Masters.  And why wouldn’t we be after going 4-0 this year in Masters betting matchups for our members.  Today we are handicapping the final round matchup between Lee Westwood and Phil Mickelson.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list Phil Mickelson as the favorite at -140 (risk $140 to win $100), while Lee Westwood is at +110 (risk $100 to win $110).

Saturday at The Masters saw Tiger Woods clawing his way back into contention after losing his cool early on.  Westwood, on the other hand, fired a four-under-par 68 to post a 12-under total of 204.

Mickelson, a two-time Masters champion, carded a 67 and is one shot behind Westwood at -11.  World number one Woods and his playing partner KJ Choi of South Korea are both at eight under par after carding matching 70s.

Calm conditions, receptive greens and several accessible pins resulted in aggressive shot-making as the majestic Georgian pines at Augusta resonated with loud roars for birdies and eagles.

In Sunday’s final round, Westwood will have to execute in the company of Mickelson, who thrilled the crowds Saturday by covering 13, 14 and 15 in 5-under par.  He became only the third player to record successive eagles when he holed out from 141 yards at the par-four 14th, his ball pitching six feet beyond the hole before rolling back down the slope into the cup.  Mickelson, who had knocked in a six-footer to eagle the par-five 13th, raised his arms skywards in disbelief as the crowd packed around the green roared its approval.

Woods, playing his first tournament in nearly five months after getting caught with his dong in the cookie jar was delighted to be in contention for a 15th major title.

Few experts, including us, felt the Blue Devils were going to be playing for the national title in Indianapolis this season. They lost by double digits at North Carolina St. on January 20th and got pumeled at Georgetown this season, but Krzyzewski’s team has turned it on after winning the ACC Tournament. Duke failed to cover the spread in all three of those games, but the Blue Devils have now covered in all five of their NCAA Tournament games.

Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith crushed West Virginia, 78-57, and hooked our members up as 2-point favorites.  The ‘over’ hit when the 135 combined points eclipsed 131-point closing total.

Scheyer scored 23 points while dishing out six assists and had zero turnovers. Singler score 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out five assists. Smith also finished with 19 points, with six assists to zero turnovers.  What’s more, Duke set a Final Four record by bottoming 13 attempts from 3-point range. The WVU defense could not recover.

On the other side of the bracket, Butler beat Michigan St. 52-50 in a real defensive battle. Even though the Bulldogs had to play at crunch time without two of its best players in Matt Howard (concussion) and Shelvin Mack (thigh cramps), they collected the victory thanks to Gordon Hayward’s mad skills.

Hayward scored 10 of his team’s first 11 points, knocking down his first four shots.  He would go on to finish with 19 points, nine rebounds, two steals and a pair of blocked shots. His money ball at the 1:40 mark put the Bulldogs ahead by a 50-46 score, and he sealed the victory by rebounding an intentional miss by Michigan St. at the foul line with two ticks left.

Las Vegas sportsbooks opened Duke (34-5 straight up, 23-12-2 against the spread) as a five-point favorite with a total of 129. However, the number was up to 7 ½ at most spots as of early this morning.
