Bubba Watson

Age 39

State Florida

World ranking 14 Average drive 312.9 yards Driving accuracy 57.8% GIR 68.5%

Avg putts per round 29.3 A three-time winner on the tour this year, he has the ability to shot-make everyone else out of existence. When Watson is on song he can intimidate and outmanoeuvre any competitor. As the 2016 vice-captain, he comes to this 2018 team with a new appreciation of the team dynamic and the event.

Strengths When on form, Watson transcends the boundaries of normal shotmaking and can pull off monumental shots at critical times.

Weaknesses Inconsistency. When his imagination is working in conjunction with his clubhead, all is good. However, when he loses this, he finds it hard to find an immediate fix.
