Sometimes art does imitate life, and on Sunday there were a couple of golfers that tried their best to do their best Tin Cup impersonations at the Masters--Bubba Watson and Kevin Na.
If you are not familiar with the movie (go rent it; hilarious) Kevin Costner plays Roy McAvoy, better known as Tin Cup. With the green jacket on the line he has a professional meltdown on the last hole of the Masters because he simply has to hit the impossible shot (cinematic gold; you really should watch the movie if you haven't).
Sunday it was Bubba Watson and Kevin Na taking their shots at making the infamous scene a reality.
Kevin Na went first during the morning hitting his first three drives in the water before doing a Happy Gilmore impersonation on the green (minus the whole yelling at the golf ball, riding his club like a horse, or beating up Bob Parker) en route to a 7-over 10 on the par 3 12th hole.
Bubba Watson didn't drive it into the water as much as Na or Tin Cup, but his 10 was just as epic as Na's was.
