Congrats to Bubba. Gotta pull for another Alabama man. That was an awesome final hole. I cant believe he came back from outta the woods and won it.

As for the jacket, I think I liked the gold jacket from Happy Gilmore better than the green ones.

I love the fact that a guy named Bubba won the biggest golf tournament in the world. That's more redneck than any name to ever win the Bassmaster Classic!

[Raider Nation Fisher]

I had that same thought. Doesn't sound much like a golfers name does it.

The second shot on the second playoff hole he hit was nothing short of miraculous. He is a very deserving champion and I hope this propels him to greater achievements in his career.

I'm just glad the dang tournament is over. Now I can get all these old, rich, non driving fools out of my town.

Yes congrats to Bubba (I can't believe someone would name their kid "Bubba", even someone from Alabama). I was hoping Mickelson would pull it off, but if not him at least it wasn't won by a foreigner.

Great accomplishment, but it will be the runner up whose name and best shot will be repeated for more years than the winner's.

It's Gerry Lester Watson, Bubba is not his given name.

Quillback, everyone in Alabama is named Bubba.

Most everyone goes by a nickname, like Mike, Joe, Bob, Mark........

You sound like a Cape Codder between the Fourth of July and Labor Day.

The only difference is the old rich non driving fools are the Cape Codders who resent the intrusion of younger families disturbing the tranquility of the Cape.

We have the same thing here and it 's been a discussion on a local forum. We have a lot of snowbirds, most come from a section of the country where people are not as laid back as the locals. It's always nice when they leave, traffic gets back to normal, restaurants are not as crowded, and the overall serenity has returned for 8 months.
