A to Z Challenge #13   M for Masters Champion

The 28 out of 30 words used:
rights song glory pay pallid scurry
drudged sight vision black crow dancing 
kinks towers green belly spiral
grows powers broke spell simple
myth ripple nose say brother bed

Bubba Watson at Augusta right on song
The glory of it all, US Masters champion
Struck pay dirt a cool USD1.62 million
For a 4 days' work last week-end

Others pallid scurried drudged all along
But Bubba had in his sight a vision

Black crow dancing above made no kinks
On his game as he towered over them

His ball did bite the greens while others
went belly up, spiraled and struggled
His game grew with powers endured
and he broke the spell with a simple
3-under winning score

It was no myth and it caused quite a ripple
For winning the Masters twice in 3 years
Bubba Watson could safely thumb his nose
And say, ‘oh brother!’ and went to bed
with a broad smile!

Note: Bubba was US Masters Champion
in 2012 and now again in 2014

    1. With his baby face looks he easily had the crowd with him and that's very helpful!

  6. Has Bubba Watson, I wonder, ever earned himself the distinction of achieving a hole-in-one? Then, if he has, he earns my respect.

    1. That is something you've chalked up once before. And it is a distinction that many can only dream of. That I have great respect for, certainly! I just wonder too whether Bubba had done it!
