Analyzing The 2015 Masters Groupings And Starting Times

I'm open to any findings of deep, hidden meaning in the 2015 Masters Groupings. Sadly, the dream pairing of Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh will have to wait another year.

Groups and times of note Thursday...

8:18 am Weir, Crane, Conners(a). They'll be a hole behind but at least the two Canadians will get to spend time together.

9:24 am Watson, Rose, Gunn Yang(a) - the defending champion lands Justin Rose and the US Amateur Champion.

9:35 am Scott, Johnson, Murdaca - the Asia Pacific Amateur champ gets to watch two pre-tournament favorites.

10:08 am Crenshaw, Haas, Dufner - Gentle Ben gets two cool, understated cats for his final Masters.

10:41 am Mickelson, McIlroy,  Moore - Nice contrast in styles and personalities.

11:47 am Langer, Wiesberger, Ogilvy - Committee trust Ogilvy to master his pronunciations of Bernhard and Bernd

12:20 pm Cabrera, Ooisthuizen, Dominguez(a) - The Latin American Amateur winner gets to Masters vets likely to make cut and contend.

1:15 pm Spieth, Stenson, Horschel - No shortage of fire.

1:48 pm Woods, Donaldson, Walker - As if watching Tiger's return wasn't interesting enough, he gets one of the favorites to chase.
