What a Sunday we were treated to at the 2016 Northern Trust Open. Star names like Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson and KJ Choi had the lead or share of the lead at one point in the tournament, but it was Bubba Watson who prevailed. Watson recorded 5 birdies for a round of 68 on Sunday (66-68-67-68) to finish 15-under par for the tournament and a one-shot victory over Adam Scott and Jason Kokrak. Unfortunately, Rory McIlroy, who made his debut at Riviera, could not get into the mix.
Watson definitely packed a lot of memories from his week in Los Angeles. He has a kidney stone as a keepsake. He had a cameo in “Girl Meets World.” He received a text Sunday morning from Stephen Curry offering shooting tips to Watson’s son. And then, he capped it off with a victory at Riviera Country Club. This is Watson’s second win at the Northern Trust Open in three years – the last time he won here, he went on to win The Masters as well. Will Bubba be one of your picks this year at Augusta?
