The Masters may be the golfing major we so often associate with sun-soaked fairways but this year may be different (at least until Sunday). Forecasters are predicting rain and possibly some thunderstorms on the first three days.

Those not looking at the skies are either focused on Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy's attempt at a Grand Slam of majors.

"Rory McIlroy does not shy away from the attention, yet the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland seemed uncharacteristically subdues in discussing the opportunity that awaits him at this Masters tournament," writes Scott Michaux of the Augusta Chronicle., external

After draws against London Bees and Everton, Mlinar's side fought back to beat Durham 3-2 on Sunday.
