DORAL, Fla. — That Bubba Watson expresses total love for the Masters is no surprise. He’s won it twice, after all, and has never missed the cut in seven starts.
But to state that the Masters is Watson’s favorite major is a given for another reason. That is, there’s no other major he seems to like, at least if you go by his performances.
For certain, Watson is a study in intrigue. Expected is the way he plays brilliantly at venues like this week’s Trump Doral at the WGC-Cadillac Championship (two seconds, one third in five starts, 28 under for 20 rounds) where his massive length serves him well.
