Bubba Watson has never taken a golf lesson. He is one of the longest hitters golf has ever seen, but he had never won a major championship. That changed yesterday with one of the most spectacular shots in the history of the Masters–a hook from the pine straw that won a playoff and cemented his place in golfing lore. Watching the final round yesterday was my favorite sporting experience this year. But the Masters is now over for me; it will be a permanent part of Bubba Watson’s life. What’s the difference? I was a spectator–he was a participant.
