Masters champion Bubba Watson said Tuesday he hopes to rediscover the “Bubba Golf” that lit up Augusta when he plays at the Thailand Golf Championship this week.
The 34-year-old American, who has explained his buccaneering approach to the game as “Bubba Golf”, is one of the star draws in a strong field at the Asian Tour tournament which starts Thursday.
Asked if he was ready to bring his freewheeling, high-risk style to the course in a bid for a first victory since his April win in Augusta, the world number 12 said: “I’m hoping so… but you never know.”
The 34-year-old lefthander will be joined at the Amata Spring course by defending champion Lee Westwood, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Japanese sensation Ryo Ishikawa.
Watson claimed his first major at Augusta in April, beating Oosthuizen in a nerve-shredding play-off, but the American has not won since.
“We work hard on our games, but you never know. This week is another challenge and it should be fun,” he told reporters in Bangkok.
The Thailand Golf Championship is the penultimate event of the Asian Tour calendar.
