Bubba Watson Praises His Son’s Golf Game: ‘Learning to Get Out of Trouble Like His Dad’

Bubba Watson is one of the most prominent names on the PGA Tour. Bubba is well-known for his unique style of play and has 12 PGA Tours, and two major championship wins in his career so far. The shot shapes he produces, especially off the tee, are a treat to watch. 

Furthermore, he is also a master of escape shots from difficult lies. Bubba has escaped unharmed from diabolic lies, especially early in his career. Hence, people also refer to him as a master of escape shots. And now, it looks like these qualities have been transferred to his son as well.

 

Bubba Watson shares a video of his son playing an incredible shot

Bubba Watson is not the most active golfer on social media. However, he recently shared a video on his Twitter where we can see his son escaping from a tough lie on the golf course. Bubba Watson’s son Caleb Watson went out from the bushes with a 60-degree lob wedge. Hence, Bubba shared the video and wrote, “Caleb learning to get out of trouble like his dad!!”

Notably, even though Bubba is a left-handed golfer, his son Caleb is a right-handed golfer. However, the swing of both Bubba and Caleb is almost similar, which means surely the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. Fans in the comments section believed the finish is identical to each other.

Even though Bubba did not achieve the tag of a great golfer like Phil Mickelson, or Tiger Woods, he has won Masters twice in his career. Firstly, in 2012 and then in 2014. But the last couple of years or so has been a struggle for Bubba at the PGA Tour. He hasn’t won a single event since 2018.
