• Bubba Watson is the 2012 Masters Champion

[quote=SCBSports]AUGUSTA, Ga. -- When Bubba Watson came on the scene years ago, with his miles-long drives and his radical golf style, it never seemed we were looking at a major champion. An interesting golfer? Sure. A fun personality? Absolutely. But a major winner? That was up until Bubba decided to change his style on the golf course. He started to grind on his short game, redefining exactly how he approached his game and how he could get it done. But there is simply just a style of golf that Bubba plays that nobody else does, and it took that shot to win the 2012 Masters in a playoff against Louis Oosthuizen. Bubba played his way to 10 under, but the style and creativity of his golf game took over in the playoff when he hit a 30 yard hook with a wedge from 155 yards on No. 10 to 10 feet, leaving him two putts to win the Masters. It was an unlikely win when Bubba made bogey on the 12th hole, putting him two shots back of playing partner Oosthuizen, but birdies on Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16 got him in a position for a playoff, which Watson won on the second playoff hole. People love Bubba because he's a little quirky, but it seemed that might actually be a negative when we discussed him as a major champion. But all Sunday, it seemed he stayed within himself, making the putts he must make and not getting frustrated when he hit loose drives on No. 17 and the second playoff hole. Watson is the type of player golf needs to become great. He's a big presence, that hits it a mile and has a lot of fun on the golf course. Earlier this week, Watson was asked what winning the Masters would mean to him. Even before play began, Watson, a father of newly adopted baby boy, teared up, saying he'd take some time away from golf and focus on being a dad. Well Bubba, your wish came true, but first, enjoy being a major champion.

That hook on the last playoff hole was crazy. Good job to Bubba, damn good dawg.

If you don't have context, the Masters green jacket is pretty much the equivalent of winning an Olympic gold medal for golf. That shot he made from the woods was unbelievable.
I never saw the excitement in golf. Like nascar. Sure, it takes skill, but it's about as boring as watching grass grow.
maybe you need to have played golf before to appreciate what's happening, but when you have the greatest players in the world competing over an entire weekend for one of the most prestigious titles a golfer can have on one of the most challenging golf courses in the world, shit gets pretty exciting.
I love to play golf, but watching anything other than the major events are just plain boring to me.
I felt so bad for Mickelson, he was in it up until then. Just shows how in a game like golf you have to be consistent the whole way through.
Don't know why I came into here thinking this would be about boxing or ufc.
What is the deal with the green jacket? Are all those fellows wearing them at the ceremony previous winners? If so, thats kinda cool.
[QUOTE=Cushie;35506459]What is the deal with the green jacket? Are all those fellows wearing them at the ceremony previous winners? If so, thats kinda cool.[/QUOTE] yep. it's pretty much every golfer's dream (and i mean unbelievably difficult to accomplish dream) to achieve one.
golf is such a peculiar sport
