Arms crossed, Angie Watson paced back and forth.

She stopped occasionally, her eyes darting from the first tee box of Augusta National Golf Club to the first fairway and back again.

Was she jittery? Try more nervous than a long-tailed feline in a room full of rocking chairs.

Bubba Watson, her long-hitting husband, was 20 yards away and about to christen his Masters Tournament with a long iron, which is not usually the preferred choice on a hole long enough to land a Gulfstream on.

"I think he was a little too pumped," she said.

It took Bubba Watson years to make the Masters a reality, and Angie was there nearly every step of the way.

They met at the Ramsey Center on the campus of the University of Georgia.

Angie was a post player for the Lady Bulldogs basketball team. Bubba was a restless player on the university's golf team.

The initial spark to their romance occurred during a pickup basketball game. They kept in touch, grew closer and wed almost 31/2 years ago.

They still seem like the unlikeliest of pairs. Angie is from the cosmopolitan city of Toronto. Bubba hails from the Florida Panhandle, where the term "redneck" isn't an insult -- it's a badge of honor.

"Let's just say there was a lot of culture shock when we first visited each other's hometowns," she said.

Angie is still proud to call UGA her alma mater.

Her husband goes with Faulkner State Community College in Alabama because of his falling out with Bulldogs golf coach Chris Haack.

They do have quite a bit in common, most of which deals with seeing Bubba Watson reach his full potential in professional golf.

Watson takes care of business inside the ropes, while his wife does her part to take care of things outside of them.

She is the chief executive officer of Bubba Watson Inc., overseeing the business end of his hobby-turned-profession. She takes care of everything, except for maybe his wardrobe.

His lime-green pants last week "were all him," she said.

"I do it because it makes me feel a part of the experience," she said. "I enjoy it because it helps me stay close to him."

Watson's initial Masters has been so-so.

After an unsteady first round, he made the cut Friday with 71 and shot 73 on Saturday, putting him in a tie for 28th place going into today's final round.

He'll be back on the first tee this morning, and his wife will be nearby, ready to follow Watson wherever his final round takes him.
