On Sunday Bubba Watson won his second green jacket at the 2014 Masters Tournament. Bubba finished with an 8 under par score for the week for a three shot victory. You have to respect the way Bubba plays the game. He knows what he can do and he goes for it. The 360+ yard drive on the 13th hole was something out of this world. Driver then wedge to a par 5...WOW! Hmmmm...think back to 1997 when Tiger Woods took apart Augusta National at the par 5s in similar fashion. A few years later Augusta's leadership decided to "Tiger Proof" the course. Makes me wonder what they will do now with the way Bubba Watson can literally overwhelm the course with his length off the tee. Anyway...Bubba played great on Sunday and never wavered from his game plan. Congrats Bubba on the win and love the tweet later of you and your friends at Waffle House!
Rory Walks Off!
OK OK…it was wrong for Rory to quit after 8 holes last week at the Honda Classic. Give the kid a break. Who hasn't felt like doing that one time or another during a round? Sure he is a the #1 player in the world, he is supposed to be the next great one, and he should know better. However, he is only 23 y/o, just changed golf equipment companies, has the whole world watching his every move…that's a lot of pressure. I think we can cut the kid some slack especially since every other time he has said or done anything it has been pretty much on target! Top Three in OWGR to Tee It Up at Doral! The WGC-Cadillac Championship as usual has grouped the tee times in accordance to the OWGR. That means that Rory, Tiger, and Luke are set to tee it up together on Thursday and Friday. They are all on the short list of players that we all know simply by their first names. No matter what we are all in for a great show…personally I think Luke will out shine the two headliners. You never know though since Tiger and Rory have become fast friends of late this maybe a great pairing for those two. I just want to see great golf, good weather, and no controversy. Tee it up Boys! The Golf Boys Do It Again! It is finally out for public viewing... Golf Boys 2.0. PGA Tour young guns; Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson, Ben Crane, and Rickie Fowler sing and dance (sort of) in their latest music video. This is awesome…maybe not the actually song quality but the sense of humor and the pure fun these guys are having. Not to mention that they are doing it for charity. I think this is refreshing to see a few PGA Tour member open up and show some personality. I hope this is only the second of many more videos. A Tournament Like No Other…The Masters! We are only a month away from The Masters. Need I say more to true golf fans? If you are like me you have already set the DVR, planned on being sick from work, and warned the family not to expect much during the televised hours of the tournament. Every year The Masters provides the best in golf drama and beauty. Two years ago Charl Schwartzel birdied the last four holes to win, last year Bubba did what Bubba does…hooked a gap wedge out of trees 140 yards to win. We can only dream and hope what miracle will occur this year. Will Tiger win number 15? Can Lee Westwood breakthrough for number 1? Does Sergio have a chance? Maybe Luke Donald? Is it possible for the par 3 tournament winner to take the Green Jacket? WOW…really do we have to wait for another month? Bring it on! |
