Bubba Watson reminds me of Seve Ballesteros. He has that masterful imagination that sets him apart from the rest of the pack. Not only does he have this great imagination, but he has the ability to create those shots he sees in his head. Even his caddie is left gasping at some of the fantastic shots he has played at Augusta. Here is Ted Scott's (Bubba's Caddie) account of the top 5, as it appeared in GOLF Magazine.
A Tour caddie for 15 years and himself a scratch golfer, Ted Scott is hard to impress. So it speaks to Bubba Watson's sublime shot-making skills that the two-time Master's winner regularly makes his longtime looper's jaw drop. Scott counts down the five most amazing Masters shots Bubba ever hit -- and No. 1 isn't what you think!
2014, Final Round, Par-5 15th
Shot: 181-yard 6-iron cut approach over water
"Last year everybody freaked out about this [choked-down 6-iron second] shot through trees and over water. The hard thing was hitting it far enough to carry the water. TV made it look super scary, but we had an angle to the trees to where even I could have hit it through. Could I have hit it over the pond? Doubtful. Bubba's distance control -- to hit a cut that starts low and lands on the back of the green, down the stretch on Sunday -- was impressive. He made par, which is all you need with a three-stroke lead."
Shot: 161-yard 9-iron approach through trees
"Bubba's tee shot ended up in the right rough. The pin was in that front-right bowl. Trees were in the way, so he couldn't hit a big ol' hook to get it on the green. I encouraged him to hit a low shot into the front bunker. He said, ‘What about that gap there?' I look up at a 10-foot-wide circle way up in the ? trees about 50 yards away. Now, the farther away the ? gap, the smaller the target. And hitting it though there ? had him aiming right of the green, so if we don't cut it, we've got nothing for the third shot. But I don't argue with Bubba if he's confident -- it's like telling Picasso he can't paint a painting. He hit a 9-iron cut shot through the gap to about six feet from the pin, straight up the hill. Skill wise, it was amazing."
