Bubba Watson wins with one the greatest clutch shot at the final playoff hole. Through the trees, swerving just to reach the green.

Bubba is known to be pro-military as his father served in Vietnam as a Green Beret and passed away right after the Ryder Cup. Congrats Bubba!

[Jonty30]

What is Tigers rankings?

#153 best golfer, in the west?

[Timeout]

Congratulations, Bubba.

Class act.

[max americana]

loL, he’s currently number 4.

[AGreatPer]

No green jacket for the female President of IBM. No women allowed as members. No presentation from her.

[Timeout]

If I recall correctly, Bubba is a very devoted Christian.
Was that what Jim Nance referred to when he said: “I know how much this day means to you. And now you’ve won the Masters”?

[Grams A]

Since Phil didn’t win am so glad it was Bubba. Incredible heart warming victory by a truly great American and wonderful person. The South rises again!

[Moonman62]

No green jacket for the female President of IBM. No women allowed as members. No presentation from her.

But the guy who won uses a pink driver. And someone named Bubba finally wins at Augusta.

[Baynative]

Bubba is a class act. He's a credit to the game and will be a great ambassador for the Masters.

[crosshairs]

Meanwhile Tiger throws a 7-iron through the window of Butler Cabin.

[Perdogg]

It appeared to place the ball at a 300 degree angle.

[prisoner6]

That was one amazing shot! Deep in the pines and he had to hook it just right. They kept showing the 6 inch putt that ended it but the shot from the pines was THE SHOT!

[Moonman62]

If I recall correctly, Bubba is a very devoted Christian. Was that what Jim Nance referred to when he said: “I know how much this day means to you. And now you’ve won the Masters”?

That's the way I understood it.

[Baynative]

I caught that reference too. Bubba and his wife were baptized together when they decided to get married.

[Moonman62]

Bubba’s known for shaping his shots. He plays be feel and has never taken a lesson.

[Liberty Valance]

Great golf. Congrats to Bubba Watson!

[max americana]

He spinned it just enough it made a 30 angle to get to the greens. Amazing.

[entropy12]

I was rooting for Bubba all the way....so it was a wonderful finish!

[advertising guy]

Rickie Fowler and Bubba are best friends and everyday practising Christians and make no bones about it....Neither drink, drug, or smoke...

Real men, both.

[jocon307]

“...with one the greatest clutch shot at the final playoff hole. Through the trees, swerving just to reach the green.”

Tremendous shot! Or should I see TREE-mendous?

I’m glad he won, and it was great golfing all around, everyone was in the hunt and Bubba came from behind to win! Many amazing shots and many amazing misses yesterday and today.

I also liked how he “took a moment” before he sunk the final putt.

Congrats Bubba, local boy makes good!

[Popman]

Great finish.....

[max americana]

I tried o hear what club he used to make that shot. Didn’t mention it. What a spin..

[max americana]

Bubba is a U Ga. grad and recently bought a Duke of Hazzard replica car, i kid you not.

[entropy12]

I was putting on the green, and this guy behind us on a par 5 hit his 2nd shot into us, and it rolled in the cup! So a rare albatross a.k.a. double eagle.

[nerdwithagun]

What a guy. He is kind of a character, I was told that the white watch he has on is around $500K. Good luck maybe? :D

[Baynative]

PW from 155

[advertising guy]

the watch maker gave it to Bubba...this is the 2nd watch given by the manufactor

[max americana]

That seems right.

[Jedidah]

This just makes me feel good.

I don’t know anything about golf or about Mr. Watson, but I LOVE it that someone named “Bubba” won.

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

He looks just like Jimmy Connors of tennis fame.

[advertising guy]

Bubba wins and right off the bat my D Backs are down 6-0

then we fought back and won 7-6 right when Bubba hooked the wedge on 18......what a day

oh....the DBacks are 3-0 this year and those Giants are 0-3

hehehehehe

[Baynative]

This video shows Bubba buying the original "General Lee" at the Barret-Jackson classic auto auction for $110K.

[scooby321]

Bubba is a Christan and from a small town in Bagdad Florida in the panhandle of Florida. His father a former special ops in the Military died late 2010. He is the Tebow like and is the guy in the movie from Caddy Shack.

[nhwingut]

If I recall correctly, Bubba is a very devoted Christian.

From Bubba's website...

Christian: Loves Jesus and loves sharing his faith

[advertising guy]

all correct.....I met him here in Phoenix....Rickie Fowler too..

[bcsco]

What are your rankings?

[SnuffaBolshevik]

"PW from 155"

Wow. It's all I can do to get 155 out of a 6.

But that's why these guys make millions and I end up buying lunch all around every week.

[E38]

BUBBA Watson wins the Masters!
That’s gotta get into our man child
president’s craw! GOD does have a
sense of humor.....after all...HE
invented humor! GOD BLESS all you
Freepers...HE IS RISEN!

[Jonty30]

Probably #1 for having a sense of humour.

How about you?

[upchuck]

I’m happy that a Christian named Bubba won the Masters.

Living in Aiken County, SC, which is right across the Savannah River from Augusta, I’m glad it’s over. Normalcy will return soon.

[AGreatPer]

And the fake bird sound was all over the background.

What a fun Masters to watch. And, my Pirates beat the Phillies. Yes, Great day.

[chimera]

And now on to the Heritage where the winner gets a snazzy Tartan jacket. The pros say the Masters is like final exam week and the Heritage is like Spring Break. So lets cut loose for a little fun and party down at Hilton Head.

[E38]

VERY FUNNY DUDE!

[freekitty]

I am glad he won. His short game was not good until the last 9 holes. He stands to much over the ball when putting; but hell of long driver. I thought through most of the tournament this guy is not going to win; but he sure pulled it out today.

[E38]

VERY FUNNY DUDE!

[advertising guy]

he has an open stance w/ every club too

[Kryn-Man]

Bubba’s win made my day. What he did was amazing, and he is now in the history books.

[proxy_user]

More importantly, he’s the only pro golfer in the world who can hook a wedge fifty yards around a corner on a 155-yard shot!

[khenrich]

No green jacket for the female President of IBM. No women allowed as members. No presentation from her.

Do we even know if she plays golf? And does the CEO of IBM even care?

[Nasher]

His amazing shot that won him the Masters:

At the ceremonial donning of the Green Jacket, I loved how he gave credit to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As an added bonus, I'm sure the Secular Media got their panties all in knots over his proclamation.

Was rooting for Phil all afternoon until 17, then got behind Bubba. That whole thing with rooting for the USA to pull off the win.

After learning about what kind of person he is off the course, couldn't be happier that he was the eventual winner.
