Quick hits with Bubba Watson: Favorite club is – guess what – not driver

Bubba Watson is known for his unique left-handed swing, his $825,000 watch and his prodigious length, thanks in part to a pink Ping driver.

But would you be surprised to learn that his favorite golf club is not the driver?

“Favorite club in the bag? I’d have to say lob wedge,” Watson said. “I just love trying to shape a lob wedge. 63 degrees mine is.”

Since turning pro in 2006, Watson has won 12 times on the PGA Tour, with three of those coming in 2018, including the WGC-Match Play. He’s also won the Travelers three times, the Northern Trust twice and two different WGC events. His most famous wins, though, are of course his two Masters victories.

But what would he be doing if he wasn’t a pro golfer? What’s his favorite on-course snack? And did you know his superstitions include three white tees?
