CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) – Bubba Watson needs two more wins to reach the goal he set for his career.
The long-driving lefty made an 8-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to outlast Paul Casey and win the Travelers Championship for the second time.
It was the eighth PGA Tour victory for the two-time Master’s champion, who said he long ago set 10 wins as his benchmark.
“I think double digits, if you have double-digit wins this day and age, I think that’s pretty good,” he said. “Tiger (Woods) thinks differently than I do, but I just think that 10 wins is a big number.”
The 36-year-old won got his first PGA Tour win here in 2010, also in a playoff. On Sunday, he improved to 5-1 in tournaments when tied for the lead after the final round.
