Winner: Bubba Watson
Around the wider world of golf: The golf world always seems to come to a halt when it's Masters Week. Carlos Ortiz won the El Bosque Mexico Championship on the Web.com Tour; Min Young Lee won the KLPGA's Lotte Mart Women's Open; and Esther Lee won the JLPGA's Studio Alice Ladies.

Sunday afternoon, 2014 April 13: Bubba Golf enters a new era as Bubba Watson proves he can control his emotions and still play with exquisite control... while simultaneously pounding his competition into little greasy spots.
Remember that date. We may be including extra most important Sundays to it earlier than long.
And it's not as if everybody else played so bad. We had players making history with their play during this Masters... and yet, it just wasn't good enough. Even Jordan Spieth -- who made more than a little history himself as Bubba's chief competition Sunday -- said he would never forget Bubba's tee shot on 13. All it did was fly 360 yards after clipping some trees. Bubba hit a wedge for his second shot on the par-5.
Then there was that shot from the trees on 15. Bubba had a 3 shot lead and handiest needed to chip out. Instead he curved it over the lake, nearly getting himself an eagle risk.
And this time he were given to proportion it along with his spouse and son. Last time Caleb become too younger for them to make the ride and see Daddy get his first Green Jacket.
The number of super performances will be remembered for a long term, with Jordan Spieth and Miguel Angel Jimenez main the percent. But Sunday belonged to Bubba in a way that no one can deny.
Or maybe even agree with.
Yes, Bubba Golf clearly proved itself Sunday. We don't know yet how he'll fare towards a wholesome Tiger Woods, but it is positive gonna be a laugh finding out! Until then, we'll have this Limerick Summary to tide us over:
