On Saturday at TPC Louisiana, Bubba Watson will hit the links with a slim lead over his competition. A pair of eagles over the course of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans have helped to send him to the top of the leaderboard.
2011 Zurich Classic Leaderboard Update: Bubba Watson In Front Entering Round 3
Watson’s favorite hole is surely the 11th, on which he sunk an eagle in both the first and second rounds. He currently stands at 10-under for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Josh Teater. Should Watson hang on, this would be the third PGA Tour win of his career, and his second of 2011.
Teater, meanwhile, had the best Round 2 despite a disappointing double-bogey on the 18th hole to end his day. He scored a total of eight birdies to shoot a 6-under 66 for the day. Teater, age 22, is looking for the first PGA Tournament win of his career.
Here is how the top of the leaderboard looks entering Saturday’s action.
1. Bubba Watson (-10)
