Bubba Watson is more than just a powerful hitter
Odds: [60.0]
Last five PGAs: 2/mc/70/mc/-
Losing last year's play-off at Whistling Straits represented a career best for Watson, and he's made significant strides forward since. Victories at Torrey Pines and TPC Louisiana have transformed him from talented enigma to one of the biggest stars in the US. Crucially, he's demonstrated more to his game than just sheer power, ranking second for greens in regulation amongst the PGA field. Doubtless the Bubba fan club will be out in force again, backing their man for a breakthrough major title, and given the length of this layout, there's no reason to think he shouldn't contend.
