Future Master: Bubba Watson's son already has killer swing

The two-year-old has taken to his dad's sport surprisingly quickly

It didn't take long for Bubba Watson's son, Caleb, to steal the show at the Masters on Sunday. The two-year-old, who could pass as the Gerber baby, ambled onto the 18th green at Augusta National after his dad's final putt and took a victory lap in the arms of the teary-eyed champ.

Though Watson's star is on a meteoric rise in the golf world -- this year's green jacket marks his second in the last three years -- his son's game is apparently not far behind. On Tuesday's edition of the Golf Channel's Morning Drive, the lengthy lefty showed off some home video of Caleb's swing, both adorable and surprisingly adept for his age. Almost as impressive as the swing is the love the toddler already has for the game.

"He wanted to play golf as soon as we got done," said Watson. "After I signed the scorecard, he was like 'Golf? Golf?'"

Luckily, the Watson household is in a perfect location to sate the youngster's appetite for the links.

"We got a nice location there at Isleworth [Golf and Country Club], so we walk over and go to the range," said Watson. "He always wants to go to the range, then he wants to go to the bunker, and then the putting green."

That sounds like a surprisingly well-rounded practice regimen for a two-year-old.
