Bubba-licious

This past Sunday there were two main sporting events that made the weekend a great one. First, the national championship for hockey was on Saturday. The two teams competing to be named national champions was Ferris state and Boston College. I watched the game with my brother while I visited and we both agreed that we thought Boston College had the advantage over Ferris State for the soul fact that some of them had experience in this situation. The outcome is what we expected even though it was a very close game until Boston College took over the game in the later minutes in the third period.

The second reason why this weekend was a great one is due to the Masters and the drama that it entailed on Sunday. In one of my previous blogs I wrote about Tiger winning his first tournament of the year and what it could mean for the Masters and what if would win the Masters what kind of impact that would have. Although, I would have liked to see Tiger win the Masters I don’t think he could have brought as much of excitement as what Bubba Watson did. Coming into the final round being three back at six under he managed to shoot a 68 which was four under for the round which led him into a tie against Louis Oosthuizen. On the sudden death hole they both drove it near the woods with Bubba in the pine straw. The shot that basically won him the major was his second shot on the sudden death hole. He did not have a clear shot at the green at all but he was still able to hook the ball more than 30 yards putting him in the position to sink his birdie putt and becoming the 2012 Masters champion.

This win the past weekend was his fourth career PGA tour win which propelled him into the fourth spot of the world golf rankings. This is great win for the young and promising golfer winning in the state where he played college golf at.
