NASSAU, Bahamas – After one stint behind the scenes, Bubba Watson is ready and eager to make the Ryder Cup a big part of his future plans.
Watson didn’t make the most recent team on merit, and he was not added by captain Davis Love III despite being ranked in the OWGR top 10. But the two-time Masters champ embraced his role as an assistant captain, and Watson claims to have learned a lot from his role in the Americans’ 17-11 triumph over Europe.
“There are things that I learned seeing it from the other side, and those are things that I didn’t think about because all you’re thinking about (as a player) is yourself,” said Watson, who this week will defend his title at the Hero World Challenge.
