Bubba Watson takes the 2nd Round lead

bubba

We're half-way through the Masters Tournament and Bubba Watson has taken the lead. In round 1 he scored a 69 and was a very close second place, as Bill Haas led with a 68. Watson took the lead, scoring 68 in the second round. 

Bubba is, like many of us, a big fan of the Titleist Pro V1x.An excellent choice from the 2012 winner of the Masters. That's right. Bubba won the Masters just 2 years ago. 

An impressive fact about Watson is that he hasn't had any professional golf lessons. He received a lesson from his father, at age 6, to get started. After that point he became a self-taught golfer. 

We'll see if Bubba and his Pro V1x can make it through rounds 3 & 4 in first place.

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
