We return to the Colonial Country Club after the emotions (and the sports drama of Mito Pereira, which however starts from here) of the PGA Championship which saw Justin Thomas triumph for the second time. Even the new Major champion will not stop, in what is however the fiefdom of others. Even if, to be honest, using this term is a bit improper: apart from the pentavincitor Ben Hogan, in fact, no one here has ever won more than twice.
Unlikely this will happen this year (Phil Mickelson has his good problems with the PGA Tour and Zach Johnson seems to have almost abandoned the levels of competitiveness of the past). If anything, the favorite is Jordan Spieth, who wants redemption after failing to shine fully in Tulsa. Together with him, the elite of world golf basically returns, from Collin Morikawa to number 1 Scottie Scheffler, passing through Will Zalatoris. The race for the number 2 in the world is also at stake: Thomas, Morikawa and the Norwegian Viktor Hovland play it.
Bubba Watson outThere will be no Bubba Watson: the 43-year-old histrionic from Florida has in fact confirmed through his Instagram profile that he has broken a meniscus: for him a stop that lasts from 4 to 6 weeks. Not even Jon Rahm is at the start: a break for the Spaniard, which we will see later in the calendar.
As for the Italian television coverage (Eurosport and GolfTv), the situation is the following: Eurosport 2 will be broadcast on Thursday and Saturday from 22:00, Friday and Sunday from 22:50. Eurosport Player-Discovery + chapter: it starts in the 1st and 2nd rounds from 22:00, in the 3rd at 20:00 and in the 4th at 19:00.
Watson was born and raised in Baghdad (Florida). He is one of the few left-handed golfers and is known on the circuit for the extraordinary power of his drive and his fantasy of the game.
Watson is among the longest players on the PGA Tour, in 2007 he had an average drive of 315.2 yards (288.2m) and can reach over 350 yards (320m), capable of generating ball speeds of up to 194 mph (312 km / h).
In April 2012 he won his first Major by beating South African Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of the playoff. After making the winning stroke, he is unable to contain the emotion by crying for several minutes, which is repeated in the interview that precedes the ceremony of donning the green jacket that is brought to him by the outgoing champion, the South African Charl Schwartzel.
Watson won the 2014 Masters Tournament with a three-shot lead, with a score of -8. He enters the playoffs with 20-year-old rookie Jordan Spieth.
With the win, Watson became the 17th player to win the Masters two or more times.
He is by order of merit in the 2014 Ryder Cup.
