Sports Briefing | Golf: Watson Breezes to Win

Bubba Watson had not even planned to play in the Hero World Challenge in Nassau, Bahamas. He left no doubt Sunday who was going to win.

With two quick birdies, Watson was never seriously challenged at Albany Golf Club and sailed home to a six-under-par 66 for a three-shot victory over Patrick Reed, who also had a 66. Watson finished at 25-under 263.

u25a0 Marc Leishman of Australia picked up his maiden European Tour title with a six-stroke victory at the Nedbank Challenge in Sun City, South Africa. Leishman, who started the final round ahead of Henrik Stenson of Sweden by one shot, carded a five-under 67 to finish at 19-under 269.
