Ten years ago, Bubba Watson became a father, a Masters champion and a folk hero

The signature moment of the 2012 Masters came from the powerful, artistic hands of Bubba Watson, his hard-snapping curveball from deep in the Georgia Pines somehow landing on the perfectly manicured putting canvas on the 10^th hole and leading to his sudden death triumph against Louis Oosthuizen, a shot that will live on in the tournament’s lore.

But when the big-hitting lefty from Bagdad, Florida, thinks back to that magical day at Augusta National Golf Club, especially with the upcoming 10^th anniversary of his first major title arriving with this year’s 86^th Masters, the highlight holding sway in his mind is not slipping on the green jacket, gaining lifetime residence in the Champions Locker Room or becoming a folk hero in the game he loves.

No, his most memorable highlight actually came the following morning.
