Bubba Watson the  young face of the Golf World. On typical Easter Sunday at the Masters, where mayhem, stress and a few miracles matched the frequency of the roars booming through this cathedral in the pine trees, a big-hitting lefty from Bagdad, Fla., ended up in Butler Cabin.

Bubba Watson, a man of deep faith  was dressed in all white and wielded a driver painted pink, defeated Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of a playoff to win the 76th edition of the first major of the season. Watson two-putted from 12 feet after hitting his second shot from out of the trees and from 155 yards away, curving it more than 40 yards to reach the putting surface of No. 10 in the fading light after a brilliant day of sunshine and little wind.
