Bubba Watson is acid hot after five days of play at Austin Country Club.
He ran away with the final Sunday afternoon against Kevin Kisner for the WGC-Dell Match Play championship. Watson clinched with a birdie on the par 5 12th hole. That gave him a 7 and 5 win.
Watson, a two-time winner of the Masters, was seeded 35th here in Austin. He reached the final earlier in the day by knocking off Justin Thomas, the world's second-ranked player. If Thomas had qualified for the final, he would've surpassed Dustin Johnson for world's top spot.
Kisner reached the final with a victory over Alex Noren. The match between Noren and Kisner was so tight it went to a one playoff hole to decide it.
Noren dispensed with Thomas for third place, 5 and 3. Thomas very nearly pulled out of the tournament before it started last week after he was diagnosed with strep throat.
