Bubba Watson

Gerry Lester Watson, Jr. is the American professional golfer known as ''Bubba'', who has just won the 2012 Masters, beating Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff. Oosthuizen and Watson made par on the 1st extra hole, the 18th, and then on the 2nd extra hole, the 10th, both golfers drove their tee shots into the woods to the right of the hole. Oosthuizen's second was short of the green and Watson played an incredible shot to within ten feet from the hole, made his par and Oosthuizen bogeyed
Watson is one of the few left-handed golfers on tour, and only the second one to win The Masters. He is known for his tremendous length of the tee, and is the longest driver on the PGA Tour, being one of the few players who can hit a ball over 350 yards. 
What I like about him is his unusual swing which looks like he has taught himself. Like Phil Mickelson, he also has a way of imagining shots that others might not try. Here he is hitting that memorable one last night to the 10th green at Augusta, and winning the biggest golf tournament of them all: The Masters.
