Defending champ Watson had mixed bag in third round
Bubba Watson began his day with a head full of steam but faltered on his way to the finish for a 2-under 70 in the third round of the Masters Tournament.
The score puts the defending Masters champion and former Georgia golfer at 2-over through 54 holes and eight shots behind leader Jason Day, who tees off at 2:45 p.m.
Watson birdied the first three holes, shot par the rest of the way through the turn and birdied No. 10 to reach even par for the tournament.
Then some hiccups in Amen Corner cost him as he hit his ball into the water on No. 11 en route to a double bogey and said a poor club choice led him to a bogey on No. 13. He shot birdies on Nos. 15 and 16 and wrapped up his round with a bogey on No. 18, his second on that hole in as many days.
