Bubba Watson packaged a complete game in the first round of the Travelers Championship, taking the lead with an 8-under 62.
Watson, 36, combined power and precision – with a 325.5 driving distance average and 2.25 Strokes Gained-Putting – but the best example of his touch may have come on the 18th hole. Watson put a 140-yard shot on a direct line at the pin and started strutting toward the hole before his shot hit land. The ball nearly bounced in the hole for an eagle, hitting the pin and coming to rest just a few inches away.
