Bubba's St. Andrews challenge: 'Hit the ball straighter'

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Bubba Watson loves the Open Championship and he loves the Old Course but he has one big concern about this week: His ball flight.

Watson’s trademark is his ability to work the ball in any direction with the greatest of ease. That has worked well enough to win two green jackets and collect eight PGA Tour victories in the past five years, but it doesn’t work well at a British Open, particularly one where wind should be a major factor in determining the outcome like it is predicted to this week.
