2012 Masters: Bubba Watson and Billy Payne Provided Us with a Great Awkward Moment

This year’s Masters was filled with memorable, historic moments from start to finish. Everything beginning with Louis Oosthuizen's double eagle and ending with Bubba Watson’s hook shot (not to mention the two hole in ones that nobody is talking about) will undoubtedly go down in Augusta lore.


That being said, not all of the memorable moments from the week that was in golf are positive ones. There was also a slightly cringeworthy handshake situation. And as you would expect, in some places, that's getting more play than anything else we saw over the course of the entire tournament.


Check out Augusta National chairman, Billy Payne, getting snubbed by this year’s champ when he went in for the congratulatory handshake:



Ouch. For about a millisecond you feel sort of bad for the guy, but then you remember his policy on women and realize that this was just karma at work.
