  • Bubba Watson Claims The Green Jacket At The 2014 Masters

    Bubba Watson won his second green jacket on Sunday when he shot a final-round 69 at the Masters Golf Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. He first won the Masters in 2012. He was the only player in the top seven to shoot in the 60s in the final round.

    Watson admits it was an overwhelming experience for “a small-town guy” such as him to have won two green jackets. He joins the ranks of other golf greats, such as Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods, who have also won the Masters in a short span of time. “To be with those great names… It’s pretty wild,” he enthused.

    Watson’s biggest contender for the top spot was Jordan Spieth, who shot a final-round 72 to tie with Jonas Blixt of Sweden for second place.  If Spieth had won, he would have been the youngest Masters winner in history at age 20, and the youngest to win a major golf championship since 1931.

    Spieth said it was an incredible experience to have played in the Masters and one he had always dreamed about. He was able to have a two-shot lead over Watson at the third hole and was also able to match Watson’s birdie at the par-3 sixth. He pulled away at the seventh with a birdie, giving him another two-shot lead.

    The game’s turning point came at the par-5 eighth, when Spieth wasn’t able to go for the green in 2. He did, however, give himself a birdie chance, which was followed by a bogey. Watson made a birdie tie, and birdied again at the ninth. He bogeyed the tenth, pulling away from Spieth to get the leverage he needed to win the tournament.

    Aside from the Masters, Watson has had six wins on the PGA Tour. He has never taken a lesson, but those who have seen him play are awed at his uncanny ability to hit seemingly impossible shots.

  • Bubba Watson Has a Hovercraft Golf Cart. Yeah.

    This is not a late April Fool’s Joke. Masters champ Bubba Watson has a hovercraft golf cart.

    It’s called “Bubba’s Hover,” and it’s a project between Bubba and Oakley – based on a design from Neoteric Hovercraft.

    I love playing golf, but if I had this thing there’s simply no way that I would ever get out of it to hit a shot. Come at me, gators.

    Clark Kellog recently shoot hoops with the President during the NCAA Tournament. It’s too bad Obama doesn’t have a practice green in his back yard.

  • Bubba Watson Hits “Unbelieveable” Shot, Wins Masters

    33-year old Bubba Watson, arguably golf’s most promising new star, hit an extraordinary curved shot yesterday that led him to the coveted green jacket above Louis Oosthuizen. Oosthuizen started the game with a double eagle–only the 4th in Masters history–and ended at 10 under par 278.

    “Bubba just hit an unbelievable shot there on 10. I didn’t play badly. Bubba earned it,” Oosthuizen said.

    The two men played a close game up until the 10th green, where Watson was forced to hook a curveball from a thicket of trees so dense Oosthuizen couldn’t even see him. It went 155 yards and required only two putts to win the championship.

    “I had no idea where he was,” Oosthuizen said. “Where I stood from, when the ball came out, it looked like a curveball. Unbelievable shot. That shot he hit definitely won him the tournament.”

    Watson was joined on the green by his wife and mother, who congratulated him as his emotions ran over after a day filled with stress.

    “I’ve never had a dream go this far, so I can’t really say it’s a dream come true,” Watson said as he was presented with the green jacket.

    Watson, who is heavily involved in fundraising for cancer research, played with a pink driver yesterday to show his support of the charity and says the win–which moves him up to number 4 in the world of golf and the top ranking American–won’t mean a reprieve from the real world this week. No doubt he’ll be grounded by a brand new family life, as he and his wife just adopted a one-month old son.
