ST ANDREWS, Scotland (Reuters) - There are few more spectacular sights in golf than standing behind American Bubba Watson launching one of his 320-yard sidewinders off a tee, apparently in the wrong direction.
Self-taught double Masters champion Watson moves a golf ball like few others have managed, often sending drives miles left or right before the spin he generates yanks the ball back on line.
It is a unique style that has made him a rich man but Watson acknowledges that "going straight" might be the only way to conquer St Andrews and win the British Open this weekend just as Louis Oosthuizen did at the home of golf in 2010.
