Bubba wears green jacket a second time

American Bubba Watson won the Masters Golfing tournament at Augusta National on Sunday in Atlanta, Georgia, to wear the famed Green Jacket awarded to the winners of this prized golfing major, for a second time.

Watson carded a 3-under-par 69 final round to finish the tournament at 8-under, and defeat Jonas Blixt of Sweden and 20-year-old American Jordan Spieth by 3-strokes. Spieth and Blixt were tied in second on 5 under.

The Masters turned, when Watson reversed a 2-shot deficit, turning it into a 2-shot lead on the final 2-holes of the front nine. He held all players at bay after that performance.

It was the second time Watson had won the Masters in three years, and became the 17th player to win the Masters more than once.

Rory McIllroy ended tied in 8th at even par, while Fred Couples was tied in 20th on 2 over par.
