IT'S almost time for the Masters and world No.1 Dustin Johnson is seeing plenty of backing from punters.
William Hill are also seeing interest in a course record – presumably by big-hitting Johnson – which has now been cut to 10-1 from 16-1.
Hills spokesman Rupert Adams said: “There are a certain group of our customers who cannot see past Dustin and there are some that think we are going to see a winning score similar to Tiger Woods when he romped to victory in 1997.”
Jordan is the man for NBA tips for tonight's matches – he'll post his tips in the comments section below – and here's a seleciton of William Hill's Masters prices.

My mistake on the snooker, forgot its the long version not best of 6. Looks like the result might be the same at the end though.
Winner last night. Risky one tonight.
Houston playing for nothing now and Denver are fighting it out with the Blazers for the 8 seed and are 0.5 of a game behind. Should be competitive in Houston and keep it to single digits. Warriors don’t really need the win tonight but if they do they will secure the one seed no matter what happens to the Spurs (I think).
