newyorker: Bubba Watson, the Anti-Tiger Watson grew up on the Gulf Coast not far from me, and occasionally I would have to compete against him in junior golf tournaments. He’s a few years my senior, so we didn’t face off often, but when he was in the field you knew about it. At the beginning of the tournament you’d hear of his feats the week prior—Bubba carved a three-metal around the clubhouse, landed it pin-high; Bubba drove it over the green on a three-hundred-and-seventy-yard par four; Bubba blasted one out over the lake, brought it back into play with a violent slice. You didn’t know what to believe. Then you would walk to the first tee well before your starting time, watch Bubba launch one, and realize that the rumors were all true. Or true enough. There was solace in the fact that he’d likely hit it deep in the trees, but by the end of the day he’d beaten you, and everyone else. - Lee Ellis writes about the unorthodox Masters champion Bubba Watson: http://nyr.kr/Ic7cS9
