Double Major winning Bubba Watson ended his season on a high in capturing the Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas.
Watson picked up two early birdies and from there was never challenge winning by three shots with a 6-under 66 for a three-shot victory over fellow American Patrick Reed.
Watson didn’t make a bogey all weekend until the final hole, and by then it didn’t matter except in the record book. He finished at 25-under 263, missing by one shot the tournament record set last year by Jordan Spieth at Isleworth.
It was the second victory this year for Watson, who will finish the year at No. 4 in the world.
Reed matched Watson’s 66 to be second at 22-under par and with Rickie Fowler (64) third at 21-under par and World No. 1 Jordan Spieth carding a 67 to be fourth at 20-under par.
And local Albany resident Justin Rose also ending his year on a strong positive with a new course record of a 10-under par 62 for a share of 13th place at 13-under par.
