Sports Bubba Watson wins Masters
2012.04.08 13:11
  AUGUSTA, Ga. — Louis Oosthuizen hit one of the most historic shots in Masters history. But it was playing partner Bubba Watson who walked away with the Green Jacket. Watson beat Oosthuizen with a par on the second hole of the playoff to win his first major championship. “I never got this far in my dreams,” an emotional Watson said during the Green Jacket ceremony at Butler Cabin. The left-handed Watson hit a few of his own spectacular shots, none more important than his approach on the second playoff hole that set up an easy two-putt par. Watson had found trouble off the tee at the 10th, but it was Oosthuizen who bogeyed the hole when his approach came up short of the green. "I was there earlier today in regulation,” Watson said of his shot off the pine straw. “I hooked it 40 yards . I’m pretty good at hooking it.” Watson had lost a playoff to Martin Kaymer for the 2010 PGA Championship, but now has his first major. Since 2003, five Masters have been won by left-handers – one by Mike Weir, three by Phil Mickelson, and now by Watson. Oosthuizen grabbed the lead with a double eagle at the par-5 second — the first albatross at that hole in Masters history. He held the lead by himself for the next three hours, 10 minutes until Matt Kuchar tied him with an eagle at the par-5 15th. Less than 10 minutes later, though, Oosthuizen regained the lead by himself by making one of several clutch putts on the day, this one for birdie at the 15th to go to 10 under. Playing partner Watson also birdied the hole to move to 9 under. Watson then followed with another birdie to gain a share of the lead by making birdie at the par-3 16th. Both players then parred the final two holes in regulation. Watson had a good look at birdie at the 72nd hole after hitting his approach shot pin high, but his putt stayed to the right. In the playoff, both players hit excellent approach shots to the 18th, with Watson’s ball landing inside Oosthuizen’s. While Oosthuizen missed his putt to the right, Watson followed with a miss to the right. On the second playoff hole, the par-4 10th, Watson’s drive found the pine straw to the right of the fairway. Oosthuizen’s drive also went right, but kicked near the fairway, leaving him a shot of 231 yards. His approach came up short of the green, though. From 153 yards, Watson then shaped a wedge shot that landed on the green. Oosthuizen’s chip left him outside of Watson’s ball and he could not drain the par putt. “It was a great day,” said Oosthuizen, looking for his second major after winning the 2010 British Open. “We had a lot of fun. I played well.” As for the others contenders? Peter Hanson, the 54-hole leader, bogeyed two of his first three holes en route to shooting 73. Phil Mickelson, the three-time Masters champ who was one shot back of playing partner Hanson when the round begin, suffered his second triple bogey of the week when he found trouble at the par-3 fourth. He tried to hit out of the brush right-handed, but had to take another stroke, then found the bunker. Mickelson fought hard to get back into the mix with birdies at the par-5 13th and 15th holes but could never get closer than two strokes in shooting even-par 72. Lee Westwood shot 32 on the back nine to finish at 8 under, good enough for a tie for third with Kuchar (69), Hanson and Mickelson. |

이름이 재미있다고 생각하며 조마 조마한 마음으로 보았습니다.
Cool해 보였는데 감격하면 잘 우는가 봐요.
Wife Angie(6.4f)와 한달된 아기를 2주 전에 입양했다고 하네요.
아버지가 2010년에 lung cancer로 돌아 가셔서 Cancer research를
Support하는 뜻에서 pink color의 Golf club을 쓰고
pink color pattern이 든 셔츠를 입고 있더군요.
Congratulations, Bubba and best wishes! -

아마도 그의 울음속에는 major를 이긴 감격과 하늘에 계신 아버님
그리고 새로 태어난 그의 아들등이 범벅이 된것이 겠지요.300야드를 훨씬넘는 호쾌한 장타를 치는 선수가 애같이 우는것을
보자니 만감이 스쳐가더라구요. 규정 -

It was wonderful Easter Sunday watching final round of Masters.
That South African, Loise, was a very cool player, I would say, and
I loved the way he played golf. And he made history in Masters,
making Double Eagle(-3 at one hole).No more words I can add, because you, Hwang sun-bae-nim, took
all my words I wanted to say. Congratulations, Bubba! -

골이 깊게 패이는 감성의 소유자는 결국 그 아픔도 크지 않겠습니까?
Bubba 의 골퍼로의 성공 뒤에는 역시 이런 깊이 있는 성실성과 사랑이 있기 때문이겠지요.
얼마전 입양한 아들과 그의 부인과 함께 행복한 삶을 누리기를 바라는 마음입니다.
Bravo, Bubba!

Bubba the Man!
I love Bubba Watson as a golfer!
He looks to me a pure raw talented good old American boy!
They said he has never been taking a golf lesson and his long
drive and amazing trouble shooting ability came from pure golf instinct and talent.
He looks to me a pure blue collar American guy and I love that!
Crying like a little boy with his caddy and Mom after win made my heart trembling.
Congratulation! Bubba! for your win and your new born son!
All PGA tournaments this year as of this week have been won by American Players so far,
which is amazing and proving that American dominance in PGA nowadays.
A few more words about Masters this year.
1.We all have witnessed the amazing double eagle by Louis Oothurzen at 2nd hole(1st
double eagle at that hole in Master's history)
2.Bubba Watson's approaching shot from deep in the woods at 2nd playoff hole was just
spectacular shot and should be recorded as one of best clutch shots in Masters' playoff history.
3.Lone under par Korean Player was Kevin Na(-2) and he will be invited again next year because he
belongs to one of top 16 players of masters this year.
4.My nostalgic favorite player, Fred Couple was leading after 36 holes at age of 52 and it was great
for the fans!
5.This was one of rare occasion that Tiger Woods was not contending on Sunday at Masters. KJ
