Bubba Watson is no longer the only player with three PGA Tour wins this season. Dustin Johnson shares that title now after his RBC Canadian Open win, but that doesn’t take away from the season Watson’s having.

He’s missed a couple cuts in recent weeks, but Firestone is a place where he can turn it around.

Watson was solo runner-up in 2015 and has three straight top-20s. In eight starts he’s never finished worse than T29.

This season on Tour, Watson is third in strokes gained off the tee. As he long as he avoids out of bounds, he’s got the shot making to play from this week’s rough.

Watson has wins this year at the Genesis Open, WGC-Match Play and Travelers Championship. He also was T5 at the Masters and recently posted a T13 at the Greenbrier.
