Cromwell (United States) (AFP) - Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson rolled in a birdie putt on the second hole of a sudden death playoff to beat Paul Casey and capture the PGA Tour Travelers Championship on Sunday.

Watson, who led after the first two rounds, stuck his approach shot on the final hole to within seven feet, while Casey found the bunker on his first two shots then hit a sand shot over the green and onto a cart path to all but eliminate himself from contention.
