CROMWELL, Conn. – Bubba Watson says TPC River Highlands feels like home.
It certainly was a comfortable place again this week.
Watson overcame a six-stroke deficit Sunday to win his third Travelers Championship title, shooting a 7-under-par 63 for a three-stroke victory. The left-hander became the first three-time winner on the PGA Tour this season and pulled within one of Billy Casper’s tournament record of four victories.
The former University of Georgia golfer finished at 17-under 263. Third-round leader Paul Casey (72), Stewart Cink (62), J.B. Holmes (67) and Beau Hossler (66) tied for second.
Watson also came from six back to win the 2010 event for his first PGA Tour title and beat Casey in a playoff in 2015.
