News for Masters Champion 4/8/2012 Bubba Watson doesn’t waste his shot to become Masters champion taps in par putt to finish 10 under on the 18th hole during the final round of the 2012 Masters tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in GA where he took home the green jacket from the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday after winning the 2012 Masters Tournament following a two-hole playoff against Louis Oosthuizen.
Watson and Oosthuizen had been in the same pairing during Sunday’s final round at Augusta.
It was the first ever two at the second hole in a Masters tournament. There have only been three previous albatrosses in the tournament’s 78-year history – Gene Sarazen’s famous “shot heard around the world” at the 15th hole in 1935, Australian Bruce Devlin’s in 1967 at the eighth hole, and Jeff Maggert’s at the 13th in 1994.
But Oosthuizen was trumped by Watson’s banana-bender much later in the day.
“He must have a great feel for the game,” said the South African, who acknowledged Watson’s shot had won the tournament for him.
Four players finished tied for third – the overnight leaders Phil Mickelson (72) and Peter Hanson (73), Matt Kuchar (69) and the perennial near-miss man Lee Westwood (68).
Mickelson was left to rue another meltdown – this time with a triple-bogey six on the par-three fourth hole after he blasted his tee shot into high bamboo left of the green and took two right-handed paddle shots to extract his ball.
It was his second triple-bogey of the week; he took seven at the par-four 10th on Thursday.
They all had their hard luck tales. Kuchar took a share of lead when he eagled the 15th, but hit a poor tee shot at the par-three 16th and took bogey.
It is the first ever major championship win by Watson, who will become a new poster boy for the game. He lost a play-off at the PGA Championship two years ago, and his game is not conventional. But that’s his attraction – he does not fit any stereotype.

After that round, both were tied at 10-under-par for the tournament and were sent to a sudden death playoff. Watson and Oosthuizen narrowly missed puts on the first playoff hole (18) and hit bad approach shots on the second playoff hole (10).
Watson recovered from the approach shot the best even though his shot went the furthest from the fairway (into the woods in fact). Oosthuizen lipped out a put which forced him to take a bogey for the hole. Watson’s amazing shot from the pine straw allowed him to par the hole and become the Masters champion.
Scott Stallings, who was born in Wooster, also participated in the 2012 Masters Tournament. Stallings shot 2-over-par for the tournament after shooting 1-over-par on Sunday. He finished tied for 27th.
