CROMWELL, Connecticut (AP) – Bubba Watson overcame a six-time deficit to earn their third Voyageurs World Championship title, scoring a 63 under 63 for a three-shot victory at TPC River Highlands.
Watson became the first three-time winner on the PGA Tour this season, and shot in one of Billy Casper's four tournament wins.
Watson finished less than 263 seconds. Third-round leader Paul Casey, two-time winner Stewart Cink, Beau Hossler and J. B. Holmes are tied for second place. Casey shot 72, Cink 62, Hossler 66 and Holmes 67.
Watson also came six times to win the 2010 edition of his first touring title, and beat Casey in the playoffs in 2015. The southpaw also won at Rivera in Los Angeles in February and at the World Golf Championships- Match Play in Texas in March. He earned $ 1.26 million for his 12th career win.
Watson shot a 33 on the front nine, but he really got to the back, with five birdies. He tied Casey at 16 by getting up from the bunker for a birdie on the 15th hole of the course.
Still tied for the 18th hole, Watson hit his tee shot for 366 yards, then pitched at 3 feet, giving Ted Scott the younger a big five before taking the lead with the putt.
