Weather forecasts called for wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour Thursday at Augusta National, and the wind may have cost two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson a stroke on the back nine. Watson jumped to 3-under par through his first eight holes, but three bogeys over the next four holes put a damper what was a stellar round. At the par-4 11th, Watson's par putt slid well past the hole and seemed to be carried by a gust of wind.
Watson couldn't believe it. He tapped in for bogey, then went bogey-birdie-bogey over his next three holes to move to even par for the tournament.
