While no other player had more than one round in the 60s, Bubba had three (69-68-74-69) to win by three strokes at 8-under. “It’s overwhelming,” Watson said. “It’s a dream to have my family here, and to put on another green jacket, it’s crazy. An amazing feeling.”

Watson had company from his PING colleagues in the top 10. Only seven players finished in red numbers for the week, and three were PING pros. Miguel Ángel Jiménez was fourth, and Lee Westwood was seventh, earning him his 17th top-10 in majors.

It was a big thumb’s-up for Miguel Ángel Jiménez and his i25 driver at The Masters, where he was #1 in driving accuracy. The Spaniard hit 85.71% of fairways for the week and finished fourth. In round three, he turned in the low round of the tournament, a 6-under 66 that saw him hole a number of long putts. By finishing in the top 12, both he and Lee Westwood, who was seventh, qualified for next year’s Masters. This week, the 50-year-old Jiménez makes his Champions Tour debut at the Greater Gwinnett Championship in Duluth, Ga.
