Bubba Watson Turns the Other Cheek to "Haters"Interview with the Masters' champion reveals a strong Christian who isn't ashamed of the Gospel. There's something different about Bubba Watson. Last April, just before teeing off on the final round of the Masters, Watson took advantage of his social media platform to Tweet out two Bible verses on Sunday morning. As golf's official major season bloomed this week, and Watson winning a major for the first time - only his fourth PGA Tour career victory - Watson seemed like a long shot. His best finish at Augusta National has been a tie for 20th in 2008. Watson's journey to Christ isn't uncommon. He grew up in Bagdad, FL, as one of the good guys: "Didn't cuss, didn't cheat, didn't steal, didn't lie, didn't drink, didn't do drugs," he said. "I was doing the right things but I didn't know what that meant." It wasn't until his senior year in high school when two twin neighbor girls, from the house directly behind his, invited Watson to their youth group. He went and found a place where he belonged. "The girls asked me to go to church," he said. "And after a few times going I realized this is what I wanted to do. This is truth here. And I gave myself to the Lord." But with all the pressures of college golf, especially on the weekends, it wasn't until 2004 that Watson became serious about his commitment to Christ at the University of Georgia. He began dating Angie Ball (former WNBA player) and the two began living for God as a couple. "We wanted to be Christ followers," Watson said. "We wanted to do the right thing. We started turning to the Lord for our decisions." The couple married in September 2004 and were both baptized later that year, the day after Christmas: "I would say 2004 was my true time of becoming a Christian," Watson said, "and shaping me into the man I am today." And just this week, Bubba the Man has become Bubba the Father. The Watsons began another chapter of their life, adopting a 1-month-old boy (Caleb), a journey that began several years ago. Fittingly, Watson broke the news on Twitter: Everyone @angieb1433 & I are proud new parents of a 1 month old baby boy name Caleb. Been a parent for 2 days. #amazing
