Yesterday Bubba Watson won the 2012 Masters Golf Tournament.  He had a very unlikely win, which featured a sudden death playoff.  Here are eight reasons why I love this man.

 

1)   Bubba plays golf fearlessly.  He looks forward to the impossible shot, and then he takes it.  Whether he wins or loses, he has no regrets.  Bubba calls this “Bubba Golf.”

2)   Bubba is unconventional.  He has never taken a golf lesson.  Bubba doesn’t let other people tell him what to do.

3)   Bubba uses a pink driver, in honor of his father who died of cancer last year.

4)   Bubba’s name is Bubba.  How can you not love somebody that calls himself Bubba.

5)   Right after his win, Bubba began to sob, and hugged his mom in front of the world.

6)   Bubba is the anti-Tiger Woods.  Tiger has been only an average professional golfer since destroying his family.  Karma?

7)   Bubba’s slogan is “If I have a swing, I have a shot.”  Isn’t that how we should all live life?

8)   Bubba and his wife Angie adopted a one-month old boy just two weeks ago.  In the past two weeks, Bubba Watson has become a Masters Champion and a father.

 

Go Bubba go!
