Bubba's birdies make him a Hero

Bubba Watson wasn't even planning to play in the Hero Challenge, but on Sunday he left no doubt who was going to win.
Watson quickly stretched his two-shot lead by making four birdies over seven holes. He was never seriously challenged, sailing home to a 6-under 66 for a three-shot victory over Patrick Reed at Albany Golf Club and a trophy from tournament host Tiger Woods.
Watson turned down his invitation a few months ago because he did not have a passport for his newly adopted daughter, Dakota. But when PGA champion Jason Day backed out to stay home with his newborn daughter, Watson's wife was able to expedite all the right documents for the family to visit the Bahamas.
