Bubba Watson is aware that he will have an extremely difficult task ahead of the final round at LIV Golf UK. Watson is even six strokes behind the leader, Joaquin Niemann, who delighted the public with a great performance with nine birdies.
Watson is aware that an extremely difficult task awaits him, but he does not want to give up his intention.
Watson currently holds second place and, during a press conference, reflected on Niemann’s impressive second-round performance, sharing his thoughts on the reasons behind Niemann’s dominance.
This great golfer puts the accent on self-belief, but also on some other finesse that make Chileans different from others.
"He's very consistent, very young, so that means he can — he believes in himself. He's full of joy and energy when it comes to golf. He loves hitting shots. With the wind like this, he hits it low enough, especially with his driver, he can hit a straight ball. The wind doesn't really affect it as much. And he has a great short game. So a golf course like this, you hit the fairways, you have a chance to score, and that's kind of what I'm doing, and he's just doing it a little bit better. A lot better."- he said.
Bubba Watson on his game
Watson wants to finish this tournament in the right style, and even if he doesn't win, he has the right to be delighted with the game in the first days. Of course, he will have to show an equally dominant game in the last round if he really want to stay at the top.
Bubba revealed how important such a victory would be for him to continue his career, stressing that he has had crises in recent years.
" It would mean a lot. The last couple years, it's been a struggle. Been a struggle mentally, physically and golf-wise. You want to play better, right? A high finish puts me — I think I'm like 30th or 31st in points so it'll probably put me back close to top 24.."
