Bubba's Emotions Keep Him from Being Great

Bubba's Emotions Keep Him from Being Great











Adam Fonseca June 23, 2013 11:17 AM


COMMENTARY | Two years ago, Bubba Watson was deadlocked in a pressure packed extra-hole playoff at the 2012 Masters. Standing in the right tree line on hole No. 10 at Augusta National, Watson pull
ed off what could arguably be one of the greatest shots inmajor championship history.







Moments later, Watson holed out his final putt to officially become a major champion for the first time. He would then be seen celebrating on the green in typical Bubba fashion: tears streaming down his face while hugging everyone in sight. It was one of the more heartfelt and genuine sports reactions anyone had seen in a long time.

Unfortunately for Bubba, the tendency to wear his emotions on his sleeve is also preventing him from becoming one of golf's all-time greats.

A glaring example of Watson's inability to control his emotions was seen during Saturday's third round of the Travelers Championship.

While standing on the tee at hole No.17 after having just made bogeys at the 13th and 15th, Watson was noticeably agitated moments before addressing his tee shot. He brought his club up to the top but suddenly halted on his downswing, distracted by a conversation being held by two men in the gallery behind the tee box. Watson glared in their direction while his caddie scolded the onlookers, just as any good caddie would do. Seconds later, Watson made a terrible swing and hacked his tee shot into a greenside bunker en route to another dropped shot.

I don't blame Watson for stopping his swing while two knuckleheads were chatting away yards behind him. Most players on tour would have done the same. However, it was quite obvious that Bubba was "on tilt" at that stage of his third round, thus allowing his three-shot lead to slowly disappear. The incident on hole No. 17 only made matters worse.

While he has improved greatly over the years, Watson has a history of letting his emotions - and temper - get the best of him. After having already earned a reputation of being cantankerous on the golf course after his 2006 Tour debut, an on-camera incident involving Watson and playing partner Steve Elkington in a 2008 New Orleans tournament remains a blemish on Bubba's locker room reputation. In recent years Watson has preferred to voice his opinions over social media, preferring Twitter as his online sounding board whenever he is so inspired.

Watson enters Sunday's final round of the Travelers Championship in a three-way tie for the lead with Charley Hoffman and Graham DeLaet. If he can find a way to keep his emotions under control for 18 holes, Bubba has the chance to earn his fifth PGA Tour victory of his career.Then again, that's a pretty big "if".

Els holds on to win BMW International in Munich

Els holds on to win BMW International in Munich











June 23, 2013 1:54 PM


(Reuters) - South Africa's Ernie Els held off final round challenges from Thomas Bjorn and Alexander Levy to seal a one-shot start to finish victory at the BMW International Open in Munich on Sunday.

The British Open champion led the field from the opening round and started Sunday tied with France's Levy and Sweden's Alex Noren.

The 43-year-old's lead slipped during the final round to both Denmark's Bjorn and tour rookie Levy, but his third consecutive card of three-under par 69 was enough for an 18-under par total, following his stunning 63 on the opening day.

"I just felt good this week," Els told the europeantour.com website.

"I just felt my game was there and lucky enough it was one shot good enough.


"I really had it going and then I made it tough for myself again. Thomas was playing great, he stumbled on 14, I was watching the kid - I played with him yesterday and he looked like he had a great game - but he stumbled as well on the back nine.

"It's great to get my name on this wonderful trophy.

"Obviously it gives you a lot of confidence. Wire-to-wire you've got the pressure, every night you've got to sleep on it, guys are chasing you. So this is quite a week for me."

Bjorn finished one shot behind Els and was left to rue a double-bogey on the 14th hole, with 22-year-old Levy two shots behind the winner.

The victory was Els' 28th on the European Tour, but first title since winning his fourth major at last year's Open.


His defence of that title begins at Muirfield from July 18.
