Bubba Watson roasts fan with 'Green Jacket' chirp

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson is known to have somewhat of a prickly personality, but like him or not, one has to laugh at his exchange with a fan Saturday.

Due to an uneven number of players making the cut, Watson had to play with Augusta National member Jeff Knox in the third round. After driving his ball into the woods on the 10th hole, a hilarious exchange ensued with a patron.

"Can you back up, you're really not supposed to be back here," Watson asked the fan, according to Roy Lang III of USA Today.

"Neither is your ball," the fan retorted, opening the door for Bubba to win the exchange.

"I don't know about you, but I have two green jackets," said the 37-year-old, before pitching back onto the fairway. "Thanks for coming."

While Watson may have won that exchange, he struggled throughout the day in blustery conditions, posting a 4-over 76 to sit at 10-over for the tournament.
