Green again: Bubba Watson wins another Masters, and this time he can celebrate in style
• AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Bubba Watson scooped up his son, hugged his wife and took off down the ropes along the 18th green, high-fiving the patrons at Augusta National.
• This was the kind of Bubba-like celebration he would've relished two years ago, but it wasn't possible that Sunday.

The Masters was decided not in front of the clubhouse, but down in the hollow at No. 10, where Watson won a nerve-wracking playoff by whacking a trick shot off the pine straw and around a tree. It ended suddenly, dramatically, without the proper time to commemorate the occasion.
• Not a problem this time.
