Watson happy to blend in

Free from the pressure of being defending champion, Bubba Watson stressed his desire to claim a second Masters title in three years on Friday as Thomas Bjorn and Jonas Blixt raised hopes of a first European win since 1999.

Watson carded a second-round 68 in testing conditions at Augusta National to finish seven under par, three shots ahead of Australian John Senden with Bjorn and Blixt on three under.
