Golf-Bubba Watson wins second Masters title

AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 13 (Reuters) - Bubba Watson won the 78th Masters at Augusta National on Sunday by three shots. The left-handed American closed with a final round 69 to finish at eight-under-par for the tournament and win the coveted green jacket for the second time after his breakthrough triumph in 2012. Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old Texan bidding to become the youngest Masters champion, led by two shots at eight-under after seven holes but faded to finish on five-under. He finished tied for second with Sweden's Jonas Blixt while Spanish veteran Miguel Angel Jimenez was fourth at four under. (Reporting by Julian Linden; editing by Tony Jimenez)
