Bubba Watson had the swing and got the shot!

In the second hole of the sudden death over time at The Masters Bubba Watson shanked his tee shot back into the woods. At that time it felt as if it could be the shot that lost him a chance at a green jacket. Louis Oostuizen who at this time had the most unbelievable shot in the tournament with a double eagle earlier that day, but Oostuizen tee shot was horrible "probably spun a bit out of it, catching it off the heel, It just left me a lot further back than I wanted to be." then on his second shot he still left it short of the green. Bubba is now sitting in the woods looking at his ball and planning out his shot when he told his caddie "If I have a swing, Ive got a shot" moments later Bubba Watson would hit the shot of his life, and one the greatest I've ever seen wedging it up and hooking it around the trees and sticking it about ten feet from the hole. Bubba would then two putt it in and win his first green jacket.

Looking at those two quotes first from Louis Oostuizen "probably spun a bit out of it, catching it off the heel, It just left me a lot further back than I wanted to be" After Bubba Watson hit it well into the woods Oostuizen who has one of the best swings in all of golf decided to play if safe, and just get it down the fairway, but he played it short and to the right. If Oostuizen plays aggressive right her and hits his shot then he's probably a Masters champ. Bubba who said "If I have a swing, Ive got a shot" it was this aggressive attitude that allowed him to hit that amazing shot. If Bubba would have just played it safe and hit it back towards the fairway like most would have done then he would at best forced another round. But playing it safe is not what you get from a guy who owns a general lee from the Dukes of Hazard or from a guy who hasn't had a golf lesson since the age of ten.
