Sportsman of the Week Ending 4/13/2014

Just like the tradition as old as The Masters, this blog has a tradition for Sportsman/Sportswoman of the week as major tour "grand slam" winners.  Throw in what is arguably the biggest grand slam event in men's golf, and Bubba Watson is a clear winner.  Again.  Watson outdueled 100+ competitors, including a 20 year-old Masters rookie, a 50+ year old former champion, and everyone in between.  After a shaky back nine on Saturday, Watson was cool and collected on Sunday, as competitors struggled with the course, he made key shot after key shot.  Congratulations Bubba, a deserved Sportsman of the Week!

Sportsman of the Week Ending 4/8/2012

Strong week of candidates, but this one is a no brainer. Mentioned before, we love breakthrough performers winning their first major on the tour circuits. Not to mention the way in which it was won (ridiculous shot on the 2nd playoff hole #10). Not to mention the popularity that Bubba Watson possesses on the tour and his approach to the sport. He wears the Green Jacket well, and he is emphatically the Longhorndave on Sports, Sportsman of the week!
