Bubba for the Win

Bubba Watson does not have the coolest hair. After winning his first Masters in 2012 Bubba cried like a baby. He made an advertisement for a first-of-its-kind Golf-Cart Hovercraft. Let's be honest, he is a golfing nerd.

But on Sunday April 13th, 2014 Bubba Watson, the golfing nerd, won his second Masters, landing himself a $1.6M payout for Golf's most prestigious tournament.

Yet for all of his accolades, fame and fortune, Bubba knows that what is most important in his life is not winning at golf. What is most important is winning at life.

From his prolific twitter account, Bubba recently tweeted this about his priorities: 'Most important things in my life- 1. God, 2. Wife, 3. Family, 4. Helping Others, 5. Golf.'

He knows that this faith in Christ at times bring scorn and mockery. To those who sneer at his Christian faith, Bubba realizes that, '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.'

After his 2012 Masters win, Bubba Watson gave an interview with CNN, in which he talked about his faith.  Watch at the 1:25 mark and hear his own story of how he came to faith in Christ.

Bubba has life ordered properly. Anyone who hates golf has either never played or are completely incompetent at it.
