Bubba Watson hit a golf ball Friday afternoon that looked eerily similar to one he hit six years ago. The obstacle was the same. The curve was the same. The course was the same. The absurdity of the stroke was the same.
It was the kind of physics-defying shot Watson has become known for ever since the 2012 Masters. A viewer probably didn’t even need to see the golfer to know who hit it.
“Just to let you know,” Watson said. “I curve a lot of (shots).”
Watson, who entered Friday’s round 1 over par, had lowered his score to 3 under par entering the 11th hole.
