Bubba Watson scowled and stomped his way around the Old White TPC even after a scolding from his wife, Angie. He was miserable after an opening 68 at The Greenbrier. And he was grumpy after a second-round 66. But for talents as temperamental as Watson, success is never more than a holed putt or good break away.So it was on Saturday that Watsons mood drastically improved, a byproduct no doubt of his 26 putts and a third-round 65 that gave him another chance to bolster his already impressive 2018 rsum.Watson enters the final round in a tie for sixth, three shots back of the winless Kelly Kraft and Harold Varner III, who you can bet will be keeping an eye on the lanky left-handers position on the leaderboard.Watsons quirky personality favors the chasers role, and thats where hes proven most successful. He's taken seven of his 11 stroke-play titles when hes trailed after 54 holes. That's the most come-from-behind wins on Tour since 2010.Just two weeks ago at the Travelers Championship, he hunted down Paul Casey with a closing 63. The deficit that day was six shots, and he had a host of proven winners ahead of him. That wont be the case Sunday.These last two rounds moved me up, he said, and now Im just going to have some help from the other guys, or shoot a really, really low round tomorrow.

Two days later, Watson was still kicking himself for the way he finished his opening round. In perfect conditions, he was cruising along at 4 under before a double bogey left him with a 68. He complained to reporters afterward that his score was terrible, and he was still so sour in the second round that CBS Sports analyst Nick Faldo seemed genuinely concerned about his well-being, asking him in the booth Saturday why he was so down on himself.Its not that Im down, Watson said. I was just down on my score.It was his wife, Angie, who was actually winning, he said, and that likely had to do with the lecture she delivered Thursday night about his sulky attitude. Angie, of course, might be most responsible for Watsons resurgence this year. After a trying season in which Bubba changed his golf ball, lost 20 pounds because of an undisclosed illness and plummeted in the world rankings, Angie helped drag him out of a dark place.No, Bubba will never be a sports psychologists dream student, but hes won a Tour-best three events this season, including a World Golf Championship, and now has his sights on a victory at his home away from home.Watson has been a homeowner and member at The Greenbrier for the past few years, and he said that a comeback win Sunday would be a dream come true.Its going to be a big Sunday, he said. Like the Travelers, Ive got to have a big day.And at least now hes talking like he can actually have one.

On DJ's reaction to blowing a six-shot lead … No doubt Dustin Johnson's low-key reaction to blowing a six-shot, 54-hole lead in the WGC-HSBC Champions has rubbed some people the wrong way. He must not care about winning, goes the typical criticism. He's just out to make a check. Nothing could be further from the truth.

My favorite hole on this golf course is the reachable par-4 15th. The reason I love it is because of how many times you walk off with a par or worse and you beat yourself up for not playing it a different way off the tee than what you originally planned. You're wondering why there two pictures of the same hole?
