Only makes sense that Bubba Watson win a Masters by hitting a shot only he could pull off of anybody in the entire world.

The guys is a savant. What can we say? Flip of the wrist with a wedge, with side sauce? No problema. Give me a green jacket, please.

RT @RyanBallengeeGC: Seve would have approved of that.

Which shot is better? Oosty's double eagle or Bubba's crazy shot out of the woods onto the green in the playoff to possibly win Masters?

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 11:30:44 PM
This is why I couldn't be Bubba's caddie -- "So, 40 yard hook with a wedge? Yeah, I like that."

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 11:30:46 PM
Note to Bubba on this putt - don't start walking before you hit it.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 11:32:15 PM
HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN?!?!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 11:33:28 PM
Oosty misses putt...Watson has two chances to win the Masters here.

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 11:33:41 PM
Bubba Watson is now a major champion, making it five lefty wins at Augusta National in the last nine years.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 11:36:16 PM
Here we go...the 2012 Masters is going to a two-way playoff.

by Andrew DeWitt via Sports.cbsimg.net 4/8/2012 11:39:54 PM
Sudden-death playoff at the Masters: Bubba Watson and Louis Oosthuizen will start on 18 - www.cbssports.com

by Andrew DeWitt 4/8/2012 11:39:56 PM
Nineteen out of 20 years, winner came out of the last group at Masters. Last two years, not the case. No theory why or why not. Just saying.

Here come the waterworks from Bubba...a big hug from his mom. He recently adopted a baby boy with his wife.

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 11:40:53 PM
Just crossed my mind - Bubba is going to have to reply to a shitload of followers tonight on Twitter. I guess one of those good problems, eh

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 11:55:44 PM
According to our @shanebacon, Bubba is the 5th lefty winner at Augusta in the 9th.

Bubba Watson is your 2012 Masters champion. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/9/2012 12:24:34 AM
Bubba - "I never got this far in my dream to talk."

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 12:26:13 AM
Also, I'm pretty sure Jim Nantz has a $400 bet with his buddies in the CBS truck that he could make Bubba cry within 90 seconds.

"It's a blessing to go home to my son...After my playing partner Louis made double-eagle on 2, I just kept my head down." --Bubba Watson

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/9/2012 12:27:17 AM
Oh man, just realized -- Bubba Watson is going to be a guest on David Letterman tomorrow.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 12:28:05 AM
RT @willbrinson: "I never got this far in my dreams." -- Bubba Watson. Pretty superb line. cbsprt.co

Congrats @bubbawatson. Fantastic creativity. Now how creative will the champions dinner be next year?

Bubba Watson now No. 4 in the world. Said of his shot on No. 10, "if I have a swing, I have a shot."

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 12:55:43 AM
It still amazes me that I can type "Oosthuizen" correctly. Probably my greatest accomplishment, to be fair.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:02:26 AM
Yep. A really fun day. RT @drewschmidt7: @shanebacon @bubbawatson I remember when he randomly chose you 2 yrs ago to play with him in AZ.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:09:23 AM
This is the story I wrote years ago about the time I played with Bubba Watson. bit.ly

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:13:34 AM
A double-eagle, two right-handed shots from Phil, Bubba's 40-yard hooked 52-degree wedge? Pretty sweet first Masters.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:14:49 AM
Phil Mickelson didn't lose the Masters on one swing, he did on one decision. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/9/2012 1:17:36 AM
And not to get sappy, but appreciate all the new followers/interactions/etc. from you folks all week. Give yourself a round o'applause

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:25:08 AM
Worth mentioning that two of the biggest personalities in the game won today; Bubba Watson & Andres Gonzales.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:32:33 AM
Big winner today was PING Golf. Both players in the playoff are two big presence for them. Also big winner

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:36:54 AM
And my last tweet from Augusta will be this - Why is Bubba so great? Because NOBODY is talking about Tiger right now.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/9/2012 1:37:35 AM
With Bubba winning, that's five lefty wins in 10 years at Augusta National. By three different guys. Lefty golf course for sure.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/9/2012 1:44:56 AM
Bubba moves to No. 4 in world. What's his upside from here? "Ceiling? I'm a major champion, so I think I'm done, right?"

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/9/2012 1:49:28 AM
Bubba on this moment with mom, Molly: "We didn't have any words. We just cried in each other's arms." instagr.am

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/9/2012 1:51:21 AM
Friends to the end: In era when tour pros are mostly aloof, Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane and Aaron Baddeley stuck around to watch Watson win.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/9/2012 1:53:57 AM
Bubba Watson can hit shots that Tiger Woods can only dream of. More speed, more spin. Don't believe me? Ben Crane answers "Absolutely."

RT @Graeme_McDowell: Congrats to @bubbawatson on his Green Jacket. Awesome display. Masters Champ. Talented guy.

Am told that at today's Baltimore Orioles game, the Golf Boys' "Oh, Oh, Oh" song was played as batter intro. Talk about omens.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/9/2012 2:06:12 AM
I'm a little distracted. Just realized that Ping guys Bubba, Louis and Westy went 1-2-3. Pretty good day.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/9/2012 2:16:11 AM
The "Oh, Oh, Oh" song by Golf Boys was played as Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters stepped to plate at Camden Yards today. Wow.

Bubba birdies 13, 14, 15 and 16, making that stretch the 2012 Charl. Good stuff, Sir Bubba.

Honestly, if Ping Golf announced they were going to sell those Pink G20 drivers today, they'd make a fortune.
