Who would have thought that Bubba Watson, 2012 Masters Champion, would be so outspoken in support and praise of our Lord Jesus Christ? It's a wonderful, inspired development, in that Bubba is an engaging and likable sports star, known for his creative skills on the golf course, and for his character and loving attitude.
When Watson today fired the playoff shot that gave him the Masters green jacket, he collapsed in tears of joy in the arms of his caddy and his wife. No more Mister Cool-- a la Tiger Woods. In Bubba we welcome a true gentleman who wears his heart on his sleeve and gives his heart to Jesus. He will be a wonderful influence on young and old, and in time will emerge as a unique champion in sports and in life.

“For me, it’s just showing the Light. There’s people who want to put down Christians. I try to tell them Jesus loves you. It’s just a way to be strong in my faith.” When someone tells him “Your God Tweets are lame,” Watson responded with “I will pray for u and ur family.” “Lecrae [a Christian rapper] said it the best. He doesn’t want to be a celebrity. He doesn’t want to be a superstar. He just wants to be the middle man for you to see God through him.” “I’ve really got a good team around me trying to help me succeed. Not just in golf, but off the golf course, to be a light for Jesus.” “For me it’s a way to get back connected with the Bible and with God and Jesus. Now you know other people you can talk to, ask questions to, tell them what you’re thinking, tell them what’s going on in your life.” “We [Bubba and his wife Angie] wanted to be Christ followers. We wanted to do the right thing. We started turning to the Lord for our decisions.” “I would say 2004 was my true time of becoming a Christian and shaping me into the man I am today.” Watson is extremely popular on Twitter.
