BUBBA WATSON WINS FIRST TITLE SINCE 2012
Bubba Watson lost track of time. He didn't realize it had been nearly two years and 41 tournaments since his last victory.
A reminder came Sunday afternoon, after he birdied the 18th hole to win the Northern Trust Open by two shots. Walking up the steps to the clubhouse he saw his son, Caleb, who was adopted shortly before Watson won the 2012 Masters.
He played the final 39 holes without a bogey. He had a 64-64 weekend. He made up a four-shot deficit in six holes, and closed with the lowest round by a winner of this tournament in 28 years.
Watson won by two shots over Dustin Johnson, who closed with a 66 for the second straight week and got the same result.
Watson was not alone in his green jacket that day. This time, wife and son were at Riviera to watch a masterpiece.
