EDISON, N.J. – Bubba 2.0 may be calmer with the occasional clarity of thought, but the human highlight reel has not dulled his signature honesty.
Unvarnished and unapologetic, Watson was asked on Thursday, after an opening 65 gave him a share of the lead, what about Plainfield Country Club, site of this week’s Barclays, suits his eye?
“Nothing. Well, the scorecard suited my eye. We'll take the scorecard all day,” he said.
Part of that love/hate relationship is based on Watson’s last visit to this slice of the Garden State in 2011 when he opened with matching rounds of 70 at The Barclays and missed the cut.
