The Masters

Many people find golf to be boring but I have found the final day of the big golf tournaments to be exciting. Today took a play off to determine the winner of the Masters at the Augusta National golf course. Augusta is one of the most beautiful golf courses. Bubba Watson won his first ever Green Jacket today. I was rooting for Phil Mickelson to win but I'm not mad that Bubba Watson won. Louis Oosthuizen played a great game but came up a shot short in the playoff. The shot that set up the win for Watson was outstanding. He was in the woods and hit it out of the woods hooking it about 40 yards onto the green.Watson was extremely emotional after sinking in the putt that won him his first ever Masters' title. Phil Mickelson came in third and fought hard to try and take the lead but he just couldn't pull it out because Watson and Oosthuizen were two shots ahead. Today was close right until the end. There were eight different players in the hunt that could have won. Everyone thought Tiger Woods would be in the running today because he won the Arnold Palmer invitational. Woods ended the day plus five tied for 40th place along with Rory McIlroy. The Masters is always unpredictable. You just never know who is going to win it and that is what makes it exciting. There are always favorites but sometimes they don't win and there is someone playing little better that day that might come up and surprise you.
