Bubba Watson is a Christian, husband, father, and professional golfer ... in that order. Bubba has won the Masters Tournament twice and is ranked among the greatest golfers on the planet, but he finds his identity and purpose in Christ.

In his new book, "Up and Down: Victories and Struggles in the Course of Life," Bubba talks about how he learned more from the downs than the ups and the importance of trusting in God.
