Bubba Watson hits a shot from the bushes at the PGA Championship

That’s not an ideal lie.

Bubba Watson is one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour. When that’s going right, it means booming drives down the fairway. When it goes wrong, however, it means shots that go way offline. The latter happened on No. 2 at Valhalla when Watson hit his tee shot deep into the woods.

His ball nestled next to a bush and being a lefthander, that mean Watson had to take a stance inside the bush for his second shot.

Watson was able to get the club on the ball, but not with much success. He hit a tree and was forced to hit another punch out into the fairway. He did well from there and was able to salvage a bogey.
