Safe Hans Blixt. Why don't you like Bubba?
Hell yeah. I bet he drives round in a shiny old 50s Cadillac with the lid down and some hot women in the back seat.
Bubba looks seriously composed here.
Great approach by Bubba, he's making his life very easy at the moment.
I don't mind Bubba. He's already won it though. I want a newbie. The competition has been quite weak this year, it has to be said. Some poor displays from established names.
I feel the same, i'd rather someone who hasn't won it before, wins it.
I'm a bit disappointed that it looks like there won't be much drama near the end here too. Spieth and Blixt arr the best hopes but 3 shots back is tough, especially when Bubba looks confident.
Bubba has this. Looking very good.
It's nice for him to become a double winner. Wasn't there something like 20+ different major winners in a row? Not a bad thing to see someone rise above that and stamp a bit of authority on the tour.
Oh and Blixt's wispy facial hair looks a bit chavvy.
He's found himself in a spot of bother here though.
True. And he's a nice guy.
As an aside, Spieth is coming out of this really well. Really talented player and his mental strength today has been incredible. To hit a 4 on the 12th after the tee shot was amazing. His time will come, maybe even this year.
Christ Bubba doesn't mess about does he, no playing it safe with a layup there.
Bubba was like Tin cup there. Just lay up ffs!
Just stop thinking he's a serious, professional golfer and it'll all feel better.
He's a former world number 1 too. How'd that happen.
Agreed. Spieth in particular, but Blixt too, have had fantastic tournaments and must surely be future major winners.
Ah crap. Speith needed to make that birdie.
That was the chance for Spieth, he had to make it.

Did you his shot then. If his short game wasn't so crap he could have won a few majors.
Don't think its been a great tournament overall. Bubba's kinda cruised it in the end.
Since Spieth has faded no one has pushed Bubba at all. He's played consistently well all 4 days to be fair to him.
Very few players under par.
Disappointing ending here but Spieth should not be too disheartened, he's played well.
Incredible shot. Almost got the birdie.
The course isn't set up in a particularly difficult manner, either. That's what's so odd.
It's just been of a poor standard and I can't put my finger on why.

I was thinking about that too. The weather hasn't really been a factor either.
There was a 65 out there for someone. McIlroy with a bit more luck could have had it today. When he's not on it and Woods is out too, there's no one explosive enough to really burn up a course.
Mickelson cam I guess. Missed the first two days while on hols. Take it he bombed out and missed the cut?
Bubba looks close to blubbing already.
Its been a funny couple of years really. I expected a lot more from so many other players. The likes of Keegan Bradley and Snedeker in particular.
Well played Bubba.
This Masters wasn't as entertaining as previous years, bit of a disappointment that no-one was able to get pressure on Watson on his back-9 but he showed good consistency over the 4 days and is a deserved winner.

Yep played far better than the rest of the field over 4 days. Well deserved.
What a player. I still can't get over that technique! If I had tried that in the driving range I would have been slicing it into the wall every time without fail. I honestly thought this final day would be incredibly close, and had the potential to had the likes of Kuchar, Blixt and Spieth held their nerves. Bubba came through though and in style. His driving was outstanding and got the decisive birdies at the end of the day. Could have been out of sight at the start of the day to be honest were it nor for yesterday
Snedeker is probably enjoying that $11m he won the other year. Regardless though, Bubba played well and beat what was before him which is all you can ask.
Kind of reminds me of Moyes getting Everton fourth with just 61 points
Bit harsh on Blixt and Spieth. For rookies they had outstanding tournaments. Kuchar kind of lost it a bit, granted...
I didn't mean it to be harsh at all; they were phenomenal considering their ages. It's all part of a learning curve, and if/when they get themselves into that same position, with added maturity they should hold firmer, because they are both exceptional golfers, especially Spieth.
Blixt's majors record is amazing. Bet the e/w odds on him will narrow sharply in the next couple.This tournament may not have been the best but at least we can see some great new talent coming through I guess.
I thought Spieth was nearly gone but that chip on the 17th? was world class.
