Bubba Watson has game, and it even travels

SHANGHAI (AP) — A television crew from the European Tour asked players to participate in a quiz about China before the start of the HSBC Champions. In a finish that was wild even by his standards, he filled his scorecard with an eagle, birdie, par, bogey and double bogey over the last five holes at Sheshan International. [...] right when it looked as if he had thrown it all away, Watson caused a cheer that could be heard a half-mile away by holing a bunker shot for eagle on the 18th hole that put him in a playoff, which he won with a birdie. For a two-time Masters champion, winning a World Golf Championship was a big deal to him. Watson still gets panned for his trip to the French Open three years ago when his jokes about that tower (Eiffel) and archway (Arc de Triomphe) backfired and made him look like an ugly American. [...] he was determined to show he was more than just a big basher who thrived on American courses. Since that trip to France, Watson has gone to Sweden and Australia, China and Thailand. [...] I guess that helps a little bit, and that people wanted to watch me play golf and cheer for me, and every once in a while see one go straight. [...] he had a plane to catch to Japan for the Taiheiyo Masters this week.
