It's been a good year, but not Bubba's best

POTOMAC, Md. - Even after winning for the third time in his last nine starts, Bubba Watson wasn't willing to say it's his best year in golf.

And he's right.

Watson got the year wrong, though his memory was clear after closing with a 63 to win the Travelers Championship. It was in 2014 that he won at Riviera, held off Jordan Spieth to win the Masters and then closed out the year with a wild finish in Shanghai, where he made double bogey on the 17th hole, holed out a bunker shot for eagle on the 18th hole and won the HSBC Champions in a playoff.
