Best Moments from Bubba's Northern Trust Win

Bubba Watson won the Northern Trust Open for the second time on Sunday. As well as the kidney stone drama he had on Monday, Watson also managed to squeeze in a visit for his son to meet Justin Bieber, appeared on a TV show and then went to watch a Clippers-Warriors basketball game as well.

All these distractions certainly didn't take Watsons eye of the prize though as he carded a final round of 68 to take the victory off fellow American Jason Kokrak and also Australian Adam Scott.
