- Masters champion Bubba Watson is learning to control emotions after crying during win
- First major tournament win for Watson, who lost in a playoff at the 2010 PGA Championship
- Emotional win comes just two weeks after adopting son Caleb
- Watson relies heavily on caddie for support during miraculous shot from woods onto green
(CNN) — First-time Masters champion Bubba Watson admits he’s still learning to control his emotions after a miraculous win left him bawling on the green.
“I’m just trying to figure out ways to calm down, to breathe differently to control me and keep me calm,” the American told CNN’s Shane O’Donoghue after Sunday’s dramatic playoff win at Augusta National.
“I’m putting my head down between holes, not because I’m mad or disappointed, it’s just because I’m trying to stay focused.
“If the crowd’s cheering and I’m looking at them and talking, then I get so pumped up. The ball could go anywhere because I’ve got so much adrenalin pumping through my veins.”

Bubba Watson’s American dream
It was the first major tournament win for Gerry “Bubba” Watson Jr., who lost in a playoff at the PGA Championship in 2010. He became the 14th different winner in the last 14 major tournaments.
After a miraculous escape out of woods to the right of the 10th fairway on the second hole of the playoff against Louis Oosthuizen on Sunday, Watson burst into tears.
It was an emotional moment for the 33-year-old, who just two weeks ago adopted a baby boy, Caleb, with his wife. Watson’s mother was the first person to greet him on the 10th hole, and he held her tight, crying on her shoulder. His father died right after Bubba played in the losing U.S. team at the 2010 Ryder Cup.
Watson was more than 165 yards from the flag, his ball resting uncomfortably on pine needles following a wayward drive.

But that didn’t stop him hitting a hook shot 40 yards right, the ball rising 15 feet above the ground to sail through a small opening in the trees.
The ball landed 10 feet from the hole, leaving Watson with two putts for the win after his South African opponent had bogeyed.
The left-hander admitted relying heavily on his caddie for support during the astonishing shot.
“My caddie told me all the time, ‘you’re a good golfer. You’re here for a reason. You can do this. You’ve done this all before. You just have to do it at this moment.’ That’s the thing; we’ve all hit these shots, it’s just doing it at this moment. That’s the trick,” he said.
Watson is now hoping the victory will pave the way for more major wins.
“As an athlete, as a golfer, this is the Mecca. This is what we strove for: to put on the green jackets,” he said.
“As of less than two years ago, I didn’t have a win. Now I’ve got four. My dream has always been to have 10 wins.”
Oosthuizen, 29, had rocketed into the lead when he holed his second shot at the par-five second hole for only the fourth albatross in the history of the Masters.
However, in the end, the 2010 British Open champion was no match for Watson.
“That was my first double eagle (albatross) ever, and to do it in a spot like Augusta, that’s special,” he said.
“I felt it was tough over the next four or five holes, but then when we turned, I felt very relaxed. I made a few great saves. I probably did very well to get in the playoff.”
Rooibos, South Africa’s naturally caffeine-free tea, has become a popular choice for tea lovers across the world. 
Its appeal has grown in recent years because of the drink’s health benefits. 
Growing demand from outside South Africa has created an industry worth around $23 billion. 
Rooibos, an Afrikaans word that means “red bush,” grows only in South Africa’s Western Cape province. 
The industry, a major employer in the months of harvesting, is now trying to protect the rooibos name and its heritage.

Kruger National Park is South Africa’s biggest national park, situated in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. 
The two trackers are teaching younger generations the skills being lost to modernity. 
The park’s wildlife also includes leopards, cheetahs, zebras, impalas and numerous birds.

Tennis’ ultimate poster couple are still going strong after 10 years of marriage since reportedly getting together at the champions’ ball after both won the French Open in 1999. They have two children and still play the odd charity match, but rarely battle each other. As their website reveals: “Andre says his problem playing Steffi is not watching the ball.” 
Roger Federer met Mirka Vavrinec at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 when they both represented Switzerland. Mirka says her husband’s glittering career has eased her pain after injury forced her retirement in 2002. Of his wife, Roger told the Telegraph newspaper: “I developed faster, grew faster with her. I owe her a lot.” 
She is the former world No. 1 waiting to land her first major title — he’s the baby-faced golfer whose capitulation at the 2011 Masters, and subsequent victory at the U.S. Open, entranced the sport. Together since September last year, Denmark’s Wozniacki and McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, go by the moniker of “Wozilroy” and say they lean on each other’s experiences to help their sporting performance. 
World No. 8 Adam Scott’s appearance at last month’s Australian Open confirmed that another powerful golf and tennis combo are back on the scene. They split in 2010, but 2008 French Open champion Ivanovic told Australian newspaper the Herald Sun: “Sometimes you need time apart to figure things out.” 
Hewitt and Clijsters, both former world No. 1s, met at the Australian Open in 2000, reportedly after Kim’s sister Elkie asked her to get Lleyton’s autograph. They announced their engagement in 2003 but split in October 2004. Both decried the “malicious gossip” that followed their separation. 
The courtship of former world No. 8 Kournikova and pop star Iglesias was the very definition of a high-profile romance when they started dating in 2001. The Russian appeared in the video for Iglesias’ song “Escape,” causing a media frenzy. They are still together, 10 years on. 
Former women’s No. 1 Hingis became engaged to Stepanek in 2006 but a year later the couple announced through the ATP Tour they had split. Hingis, who won five grand slam titles, retired in 2007 after testing positive for cocaine during Wimbledon. Stepanek married fellow Czech Nicole Vaidisova in July 2010. 
A third entry to the list for Evert, whose romance and susbsequent marriage to Australian golfer Greg Norman — known as the “The Great White Shark” — captured headlines in 1998. Evert even caddied for the two-time British Open winner at the Masters during a par-three tournament. The couple split 15 months after their wedding. 
Before Agassi teamed up with Graf, he married actress Brooke Shields in 1997 after a four-year courtship. Agassi, winner of three grand slam titles by then, and Shields, star of TV sitcom “Suddenly Susan,” were a box office hit but split after less than two years of marriage in 1999. 
When it comes to prize money, the Australian Open leads the way, with the 2012 tournament the richest in grand slam history. The prize fund is a whopping $23.9 million, with the winners of each singles event collecting a cool $2.2 million while the losing finalists can console themselves with a $1 million check. 
The Melbourne sun can often soar to uncomfortable levels, with the 2007 tournament proving to be particularly hot. Maria Sharapova was among those to suffer in the conditions despite the Extreme Heat Policy that was introduced in 1998. This comes into play when temperatures hit 35 degrees Celcius, and can result in matches being suspended until the weather cools down. 
In recent years, the sport’s genteel reputation has taken a bit of a battering, with Melbourne’s Serb and Croat communities often coming to blows while supporting their favorite players. This rivalry appears to have intensified as top players like men’s world number one Novak Djokovic have become more successful. 
Although the singles winners’ trophies are instantly recognizable, their titles are not as widely known. The men battle it out for the the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup, while the top woman will collect the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Trophy — both famous names from the tournament’s illustrious history. 
The Australian Open has had many different homes since the first tournament in 1905. Five cities have played host, with two events also played in New Zealand. Melbourne’s Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club became the permanent site in 1972, before the current venue at Melbourne Park was built specifically for the tournament in 1988. 
The green hard-court playing surface was abandoned in 2008 and replaced with a blue alternative that has higher bounce and more cushioning, and is supposed to retain less heat. 
Soaring crowds meant the tournament needed a bigger home, which resulted in the construction of Melbourne Park. The Australian Open consistently has the highest attendances of all four majors, with the 2010 event achieving a record single-day crowd of 77,043 and an overall figure of 653,860. 
History was made in Melbourne in 1997 when Switzerland’s Martina Hingis lifted the women’s singles title with a 6-2 6-2 final success over Mary Pierce of France. Aged just 16 years and three months, Hingis became the youngest grand slam singles winner — a record she continues to hold — and she followed that success with victories in 1998 and 1999. 
Australia has not enjoyed a home success in the men’s singles since Mark Edmondson triumphed in 1976. Opponent John Newcombe was expected to retain his title from the previous year, but Edmondson produced a stunning display to win in four sets. It was the 21-year-old’s first career title and, at 212th, he is the lowest-ranked grand slam winner in history. 
Song Byeok’s paintings are often about coming to terms with life outside North Korea. Behind him is the painting “Child Warrior,” depicting the curious North Korean custom of dressing children in military clothes on special birthdays. Song painted the boy with his eyes closed. 
“I risked my life on this painting,” Song says of “Take Off Your Clothes,” which created a stir by putting the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in a Marilyn Monroe pose. “In some ways, this picture represents me,” Song said. “I hope after North Korean society opens up, people will debate it.” It is used on this poster to promote Song’s recent exhibit in Atlanta. 
North Korea built hundreds of statues of Kim Il Sung, founder of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. In “Beloved Father of Our Country,” women in drab military clothing pay tribute to their “Great Leader.” 
It was only after he lived outside North Korea that Song began to understand freedom and why it was so important. This, Song says, is his main message as an artist. 
Like much of Song’s work, this painting, “Hope,” is about the desire for a better future for his homeland. “Defectors naturally want to help things inside North Korea change,” he said. “My way of doing that is to paint.” 
A work done in classic Tang Dynasty style, “Around the Tumen River” looks as if it could have been painted centuries ago. But an up-close view reveals the hard realities of life in North Korea. Farmers work without tractors, soldiers survive on fish they catch in a river, and people in hills scour for edible plants. 
In some ways, it’s not a far jump from propaganda to pop art. In “Let Me Taste It,” Song pays tribute to Andy Warhol, freedom of expression and the difficulties of life in North Korea. 
Before his death in December, North Korean society revolved around the Dear Leader. But in “General and Tribes People,” Song shows Kim Jong Il’s shadow shrinking to a taper when around people who don’t buy into the myth. 
Like most North Korean families, Song’s parents didn’t want him to wear his shoes unless it was necessary. “Shoes cost parents three or four days’ wages,” Song said, “and children were expected to stitch their own repairs.” In “Barefoot Boys,” a T-shirt says “Nothing to Envy in the World.” 
“Mass Game” depicts a trademark image of North Korea, where thousands participate in exercises of unity and patriotism. 
It’s not uncommon for North Koreans to describe the Dear Leader as a surrogate parent. In “A Loving Father and His Children,” Song replaces the chubby, square-jawed children he painted as a propagandist with realistic images of child beggars found around many North Korean rail stations. Passers-by will sometimes pay them to sing; a popular song is “Our General is a Great Leader.” 
In “Hillside Slums,” the painting on the left, an image of Song’s mother dominates the skyline over the house he grew up in. She told Song she was worried about Kim Jong Il’s health before she herself died in the famine of the 1990s. By putting Kim in drag in “Fall Into My Arms,” Song glamorizes all things foreign and wonders whether life would not be more exciting for North Korea if it was opened to the outside. 
The girls in “Flower Children” are waving and posing for foreigners in the way they’ve been trained: brimming with confidence that they live in the world’s greatest country. Song painted them with their eyes closed, blind to the reality of their poverty. 
Song says he feels a bond with people from other countries where basic rights are restricted. “Freedom” expresses his hope that people everywhere will break their chains the way he broke his. 
Song takes a cigarette break with Greg Pence, an American who saw Song’s work in Seoul, was moved by its power and organized the funds for an exhibit in the United States. 
Ever desperate for hard currency, the official website of North Korea offers propaganda art for sale, including some of Song Byeok’s designs. Artwork promoting the North Korean regime is available on beer steins, clocks and even iPad and iPhone covers. The items are made in places as diverse and as far from North Korea as El Salvador and Pakistan. They are for sale in U.S. dollars and ship from California. This calendar sells for $5.99 and says “We must be determined to fight and win against imperialism.” You can also order this motif on an insulated bottle or can holder. 
It may look like a nation at war, but in fact it’s a North Korean greeting card. The caption says “Happy New Year.” 
Now available to foreigners on a coffee mug, Song Byeok painted this same design on three factory billboards inside North Korea. It says “Self-Reliance: This Is Our Only Belief.” The mug is made in China. 
The bottom line on this lime-green T-shirt reads, “Let’s Build a Strong and Prosperous Country With the Power of Our Military.” 
Song painted this design across the large exterior wall of a factory in North Korea. The gun and the dove dominate the scene, as the phrase beneath reads “Peace Through Fighting.” 
This battery-powered wall clock sells for $16.49, and in addition to telling the time, it tells you, “Let’s Kick-Start the ‘Military First’ Policy.” This was Kim Jong Il’s policy of prioritizing the military’s needs over food during the famine of the mid-1990s. 
The button on the right is emblazoned “All-or-Nothing War.” 
If anyone were to think North Korean propaganda was relentlessly martial, this golf shirt (made in Pakistan) proclaims, “Let’s Ignite the Fire for Peace.” 
This beer stein declares, “In Life, In Death, Red Is In Our Hearts.” 
Polish film director Lech Majewski has brought Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting “The Way to Calvary” onto the big screen in new film “The Mill and the Cross.” Actor Rutger Hauer plays the artist. 
“The Mill and the Cross” faithfully recreates scenes from the painting and required painstaking craftmanship in the form of hand-made costumes as well as CGI and 3D imagery to bring the more surreal elements of the work to life. 
As is common in a Bruegel painting, “The Way to Calvary” juxtaposes historical scenes with those of sixteenth-century Flanders. 
Actress Charlotte Rampling plays Mary in “The Mill and the Cross.” 
Majewski, a painter himself, is drawn to bringing paintings and painters to the silver screen. He previously wrote the script for the 1996 movie “Basquiat,” about the graffiti artist turned expressionist painter. 
The Bruegel painting which inspired Majewski is in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.
