Bubba win

Watson became yesterday just the third left-handed winner of the Masters (behind Phil Mickelson -2004, 2006 and 2010- and Canadian Mike Weir in 2003). Bubba Watson needed an incredible shot from a bed of pine needles on the second playoff hole to beat Louis Oosthuizen to the Masters title. The left-handed American won his first Major title after parring the second playoff hole, the par-four 10th, where Oosthuizen failed to get up-and-down after his second shot ended up short of the green. Both players went well right off the tee, the South African had the advantage though, after a very lucky bounce off a tree, meant his second shot was from just slighly off the fairway, but then he left his approach shot short. Watson was not so fortunate with his pink driver and ended up deep in the trees – he had an avenue to hit out of the trees, but it was a bit left of the green. The American grabbed his lob wedge and played an exquisite high draw around the trees for his ball to finish just ten feet from the hole After Oosthuizen had chipped 15 feet past the pin and narrowly missed (it kissed teh cup) his par putt, Watson had two putts to earn the famous Green Jacket. "I never got this far in my dreams," Bubba said. But the best shot of the final round was from Oosthuizen on the second hole. Using the slope the ball keeps moving and rolling nicely over the perfect green towards the hole: albatros or double birdie whatever you want to call it.
