Bubba Watson drove it over the green on a 400-yard hole

Bubba Watson is not in it on Sunday at the PGA Championship, and fortunately for us, he is haphazardly bombing away at almost every turn.

The 13th hole at Whistling Straits is officially listed at 409 yards. The tee must be up a little bit today because Bubba Watson’s drive, which went THROUGH the green and to the back, was measured as his longest of the year at 402 yards.

The wind was helping, but that is an obscene reminder that Bubba is playing a game with which none of us weekend hacks, and 99 percent of the pros, are familiar. He can be a real pain in the ass but watching him play golf is incredibly fun.
