And it gets better.
Watson has made a name for himself as a conjurer of superb golf shots and a bellicose golfer to carry a bag for. Fortunately for us, and his caddy, the former skills were on sow at Augusta National in the second round.
Faced with a shot into the green that only a geometrist or wristy hurler would even consider, Watson settled into the pinewood and got busy.
Having found the brush, and with a tree right in front of him, the 39-year-old hooked his second shot around and hooped it onto the green from way out.

He missed the resulting birdie putt but did put up a shot on the 13th to reach -3 and put himself well into the mix heading into the final two rounds.
All hail Bubba. Life is rarely dull...
