PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Bubba Watson heads into his title defense at next week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play with a little momentum, having gotten the best of some difficult conditions during the final round of the Valspar Championship.
Just don’t bank on a repeat run through the bracket.
Watson knocked in a birdie on the difficult closing hole at Innisbrook to finish off a 3-under 68, one that matched the low score of the day and vaulted him into a tie for fourth. It’s his fourth top-20 finish of the season and matches his result at the Waste Management Phoenix Open for his best of the year.
