Bubba Watson erases 6-shot deficit to win 3rd career Travelers Championship

Bubba Watson fired a 7-under 63 to win his third career Travelers Championship on Sunday, storming from behind to erase a six-shot deficit in the final round.

Watson was faced with the near-impossible task of catching third-round leader Paul Casey, but did so in incredible fashion by birdieing six of his final 10 holes to card his second 63 of the week. It was the fifth time Watson has shot 63 or better at TPC River Highlands.

While standing at the 18th tee, Watson needed a birdie to move into the lead. After hitting a 366-yard drive down the middle, he proceeded to nearly hole out from 77 yards, leaving an easy tap-in for birdie.

The victory was Bubba's third this season and the 12th of his PGA Tour career.

He also came back from six shots down to win the 2010 Travelers Championship.

Casey - who held a four-shot lead entering Sunday - fired a miserable 2-over 72 in which he bogeyed two of his last three holes. He finished in a four-way tie for second alongside Stewart Cink, Beau Hossler, and J.B. Holmes.

Notables Rory McIlroy and Jason Day finished at 11-under in a tie for 12th.
