Bubba Watson hoping to trump rivals at Blue Monster

Donald Trump may become the 45th President of the United States but whether or not he becomes a distraction as his Trump National Doral course hosts the WGC Cadillac Championship this week, he’s unlikely to change the essence of the way he goes about his business.

The same is true of world No 4 Bubba Watson or Irish stars Graeme McDowell and Shane Lowry as they prepare to take on the fearsome Blue Monster.

For Watson, the big-hitting, self-taught left-hander from Baghdad in Florida, golf is a game of feel and confidence and he all but admitted in Miami yesterday that he is unlikely to ever win The Open or the US Open because he simply hasn’t got the will to change his game to suit those tests.
