With three wins on Tour this season and a home field advantage this week, it’s no surprise Bubba Watson finds himself in the No. 1 slot this week.

The lefty is having a renaissance after a woeful 2016-17 season per his standards. Watson topped quality fields so far in 2018 to win the Genesis Open, WGC-Match Play and most recently in his last start two weeks ago at the Travelers Championship.

Watson has missed just two cuts all season. He has a T9 at the WGC-Mexico Championship and a T5 at the Masters.

Watson is 4-for-4 in cuts made at this event, three of which were inside the top 30.

This season on Tour, Watson is third in strokes gained off the tee, gaining more than three strokes each week out. He’s seventh in greens in regulation and above average putting (75th strokes gained).

Without too much trouble lurking on this course, Watson’s weakness around the greens shouldn’t be a big concern this week.

Another win this week would go a long way to put Watson in the Player of the Year discussion.
