Commentators on the Golf Channel were saying that Augusta has the magic touch when it comes to the tournament. Their setup of the course, especially the back nine, seems to annually result in riveting finishes. This year was no exception. I thought Oosthuizen had the tournament in hand with those clutch par putts, but Bubba came through when he faltered.

I love the Masters, enjoyed watching it all. I remember when Phil won his first and the tears of joy and now Bubba. I was moved by his remark when asked did he ever think he would win The Masters...he replied "his dreams never went that far."

Congratulations, you made this Masters another one day to remember!

I did not know if his putting stroke could hold up, but it did and yesterday will change his life. Great tournament and congrats to Bubba.

Nice story about the "intervention":
Bubba Watson

The only thing I did not see at the end was Watson shaking hands with Oosthuizen or his caddy. Bubba got so caught up in the moment it seemed he left 'Oosty' hanging. I could be wrong and might have missed it and of course it is explainable with the emotions, but still IMO he should have shaken hands with his competitors before Mom got to him or right after and I did not see that....

Thanks for the link. I read it and it was touching.

Just saw the golf channel and they devoted the entire show to talking with Bubba...He's the real deal that's for sure and his intensity(concentration) has been perceived as arrogance...I really think we have a new people's champion brewing here..
