Bubba Watson will paint over flag on his General Lee

Bubba Watson’s General Lee (also known as the 1969 Dodge Charger driven by the Duke brothers in 1980s TV show The Dukes of Hazard) will no longer have a Confederate flag on top.

On Thursday, the two-time Masters champion tweeted his decision to paint over it with the American flag.

All men ARE created equal, I believe that so I will be painting the American flag over the roof of the General Lee #USA
