Bubba Watson hits his tee shot on the seventh hole during the final round of the 2014 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Sunday.

After a blustery final round at Augusta National, Bubba Watson won the 78th Masters golf championship on Sunday.

The win earned Watson another green jacket, his second in three years, after shooting a final round of 3-under-par 69. He finished the tournament at 8-under-par 280.

Watson was able to pull ahead and hold off a close game with 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, who led the match by two strokes heading into the eighth hole. After two straight birdies from Watson and back-to-back bogeys from Spieth, the match shifted. Spieth ended the tournament tied for second, three strokes back at 5-under par, with Jonas Blixt.
