American Bubba Watson was back with his newly-adopted baby son yesterday &mdash; and boy will he have a story to tell him when he grows up. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/bubba.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 545px; " /> Master of masters: Bubba Watson celebrates his Augusta Masters triumph with mother Molly. Pics/AFP Watson on Sunday night became the fifth left-handed winner of The Masters in the last 10 years, beating South Africa&rsquo;s Louis Oosthuizen in a play-off after an extraordinary final day at Augusta. Oosthuizen leapt into the lead by holing a 253-yard four-iron on the second for the first albatross two there in the history of the tournament. Phil Mickelson then self-destructed with his second triple bogey of the week &mdash; and yet still might have won.u00a0But in the end Watson, the 33-year-old big-hitter from Bagdad, Florida, won by following four successive birdies on the back nine with a stunning act of escapology on the second hole of sudden death. It was only 2003 that Canadian Mike Weir became just the second left-hander to win any of the majors. Mickelson followed with three victories and now his fellow countryman has a green jacket as well. He is also the 14th different major champion in a row, with the last eight all being first-time winners. Nobody was surprised that Bubba &mdash; real name Gerry &mdash; blubbed because he has after all his wins, but there was an added reason for the tears this time &mdash; his month-old son Caleb. Watson and his wife Angie started the process of adopting four years ago as she cannot have children. &ldquo;It finally came to this winter that we could do it,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We got turned down a couple times, but on the Tuesday of Bay Hill (three weeks ago) we got a call, on the Wednesday we made the decision and the Monday after we were down in South Florida, picking up little Caleb. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t wait to get back. I haven&rsquo;t changed a diaper yet.&rdquo; Tiger&rsquo;s worst show ever For a pair billed to be the best double act at the Masters in years, Tiger Woods (left) and Rory McIlroy were a box office flop this week. The two players who were touted to dominate the 76th edition of the tournament both departed early on Sunday. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/tiger_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 697px; " /> Woods came in with a two-over 74 that left him on five-over 293 for the tournament and set for the worst Masters finish of his professional career. McIlroy, a 22-year-old Northern Irish prodigy who won last year&rsquo;s US Open after squandering a last-day Masters lead, settled for a closing 76 that, by coincidence, brought him level with Woods well down the field on 293. u00a0
