Bubba Watson Wins Emotional Masters

Bubba Watson poured out emotion on Sunday, following a spectacular win in a playoff at the 76th Masters Tournament. Golf fans around the world watched as Watson hooked a wedge shot 40 yards from the trees onto the 10th green and two-putted for a win over Louis Oosthuizen.

It was Watson's first win at one of golf's four major championships.  It also comes two weeks after adopting a boy, Caleb, with his wife and less than two years since his father died.

Tears streamed out of Watson as he celebrated on the green. 

"I've never had a dream go this far," Watson said, "so I can't really say it's a dream come true."

Oosthuizen put up a good fight, including one of the best golf shots in Masters history, holing a 4-iron from 235 yards out for a double eagle on the second hole. 

However, Oosthuizen's shot was overshadowed by Watson's own amazing shot in the playoffs. 

"Where I stood when the ball came out, it looked like a curve ball. Unbelievable shot," Oosthuizen said about Watson's shot. 

Since Oosthuizen bogeyed the playoff hole, Watson only had to two-putt to for the win which he did easily.

For the win, Watson $1.4 million and the coveted green jacket, given to the winner of the Masters.
