Oakley Sunglasses athlete; Bubba Watson from Bagdad, Florida has answered his critics by winning his second US Masters in the past three years. Many believe luck comes into play when a player wins his first major tournament but Bubba has shown this weekend that raw natural talent mixed with strong determination proves it was no fluke.
The professional golfer was made an Oakley Eyewear athlete last year and has done multiple, events, photo shoots and videos with the global eyewear brand. All weekend he was sporting Oakley Apparel from their unique golfing range. With no professional training and being the hardest hitter on the PGA tour he lead from day one making his total strokes for the four rounds of 280 (-8)….three shots ahead of his nearest contender.

Things were starting to look a little shaky for Watson on his third round as he slipped back to match second place but he pulled out all of the stops and used his experience from two years ago to pull out a huge lead on day 4. By the time he was coming up to the 18th green it was all over; 4 putt’s for the Championship.
Shade Station would like to offer all congratulations to Bubba Watson and his family.
As usual in the US Masters it wasn’t all about the winner and the events of the weekend played out dramatically to offer the spectators a scintillating spectacle. It was rare to spot a golfer this weekend that wasn’t sporting a pair of Oakley Sunglasses. Sports performance, lifestyle and active frames all made an appearance at the Augusta National.

and Lee Westwood from England all made it in on the final day under par for the tournament. Westwood looked in form all weekend and made a spectacular putt on the second day. If you saw it, it was a 1 in 100 shot.
Out of all of the competitors this weekend 24 of them were Rookies who were all playing in their first Augusta National Masters. This shows great potential for the future as 2 of them made it in under par for the tournament. A tough achievement as only 7 players finished with an under par total. Irelands Rory McIlroy clawed his way back to finish even par.
Woefully this is the end for another year at the US Masters; a true highlight in the sporting calendar. Can Bubba claim his third Masters title next year or can one of the young guns steal the spotlight? Only time will tell and we will all be looking forward to it.
