Genesis Final Round Preview: There Are No Tracy McGrady's In Bubba's Way Today

An even numbered year aligns nicely for 2014 and 2016 Genesis Open winner Bubba Watson, who, as I note in my five dream scenarios for Sunday's final round, is chasing elite company as a three-time winner of this event. Only Macdonald Smith and Lloyd Mangrum have won four Los Angeles Glen Campbell Nissan Presented by Countrywide Northern Trust Genesis Opens. 

Watson, who played Friday's celebrity game, will never live down Tracy McGrady's blocked shot but he did put a great spin on it.

The only thing that can stop Bubba from winning is third here are the many many many waggles of Patrick Cantlay... yikes.

Not a Bubba fan, but happy to see him turn it around. You have to think that Furyk doesn't want Bubba within an English Channel of the Ryder Cup team.

If JB Holmes and Patrick Cantlay are ever paired together you just might see an eight hour round.

Bubba just went out and won that. That drive on #17 was just hammered 350 down the pipe and he needed every bit of that bird for comfort zone.

But I agree on the Ryder Cup. Bubba seems like he has no use for Europe in the fall. It's cold and not a lot of sun. The food isn't what he likes. Plus, they talk funny. If it wasn't for the USA he'd rather be doing something else.
