Bubba Watson

What’s your favorite sport? Do you ever imagine what it would be like to win a major title while playing your sport? What if you got to win this title twice? Bubba Watson got this opportunity today.

Bubba Watson? Who’s that? Oh just the guy who won the Masters tournament two times. Bubba Watson is a golfer. He has won the Masters tournament twice now in the last three years. The Masters tournament is arguably one of the biggest tournaments in the PGA tour. And to win this title twice, is a pretty big deal.

When you win the Masters tournament you receive a green jacket. This green jacket symbolizes you as the Masters champion. Being from Cedar Rapids, Iowa the Masters and a green jacket are a pretty big deal around here because golfer, Zach Johnson from my city won the Masters a few years ago. So getting a green jacket for us is a big accomplishment, especially for someone from a small town.

 Bubba Watson’s winnings are the same way. "Small-town guy named Bubba now has two green jackets," Watson said. "It's pretty wild."

The above quote is from an article that can be found here:


When Bubba Watson won the tournament two years ago his family wasn’t even there, this was unexpected for him to when.

However, this time his two year old son ran out on the 18th green, wearing his green Masters outfit to support his father in his second win of this major tournament.

This a great heart warming story. Sometimes I think as viewers of sports we don’t really realize that these people are real people too. This guy came from a small town as did Zach Johnson, and they reached their goals. Why can’t you reach yours?

 Bubba obviously has other things going on his life with a two year old son, but he still made time to achieve his goals, twice. There should be no excuses; if you want something you can achieve it.

 Do you want to know the best part of “Small Town Bubba”? He kept his poise the entire time. Even after going back this year and last year after winning this tournament once, he was not over confident of cocky. He kept his poise and pushed through and became victorious again.

Congratulations Bubba.
