Waston worn his first Green Jacket
aston and Oosthuizen were tied at 10 –under-par for the tournament and were sent to a sudden death playoff. At that round, the winner was the person who had known how to correct his shot.
At the hole 18, par 4 both scored the same and at the second hole, hole 10 par 4, Watson and Oothuizen had the shot in the tree area, right the fairway’s right sight.
However, Watson had corrected his shot by unloading a magnificent shot and landing it within 15 feet of the pin, put-putting to glory, while Oosthuizen made a bogey.
By the time he had risen the cup, his eyes were watery with tears. He turned into an embrace with his caddie, mom and friends, etc.
“Its really really a memorable day for me when I have chance of wear this green jacket” Watson shared his emtion after receiving the jacket from the previous winner, Charl Schwartzel. “Its very specicial moment. Its amazing.
Now I cant remember anything” he said happily.
His best result at the previous major was the first runner up at PGA Championship 2010 and followed Martin Kaymer at playoff round.
Yesterday, he was in Oothuizen’s flight who was the chamion of 2012 Open Championship.
After 4 continuous birdies from hole 13, Watson catched up with the Afican golfer at the top and missed his chance of ending the game by missed put and forced into the playoff.

Oosthuizen had his dreamed start before. The 29 year old golfer had only 2 shot in hole at par 5. This is the 5th time recorded golfer gaining Double Eagle (3 stroke under par, which is quite rare). This amazing shot helped Oothuizen to have breaking with 10 stroke under par.
He still was at the top by his birdie at hole 15 even sometime he had wrong shot and only was leaded by Watson at playoff round.
