G-Mac to face Tiger as pairings announced

This is going to be interesting…

GRAEME MCDOWELL WILL tee off with Tiger Woods at The Masters this week after the pairings were announced earlier.

The Portrush native and current US Open champion, tees off with Woods and Australian Robert Allenby at 3.41pm (Irish time) in the first round and in the penultimate group at 6.48pm in the second round.

G-Mac’s pal Rory McIlroy will play alongside fellow young hot-shots Ricky Fowler and Jason Day. Pádraig Harrington is joined by Ryo Ishikawa of Japan and American Bill Hass just before 3pm.

In what some might see as the pick of the paitings, however, Lee Westwood – fresh form his airplane scare – and Martin Kaymer will play together in a battle for 1 and 2, with Matt Kuchar making up a formidable three-ball.

In another intriguing group, heavy-hitters Nick Whatney and Dustin Johnson are joined by Adam Scott.
