Shaping shots the allure for big-hitting Bubba

LOS ANGELES - One of golf's most intriguing characters, Bubba Watson is best known for his power hitting with a distinctive pink-shafted driver but among his peers he is renowned for his extraordinary shot-making.

The self-taught American learned to play the game as a youngster by hitting wiffle balls around his house, swiftly developing the ability to cut and hook the ball at will.

Since his rookie season on the 2006 PGA Tour, left-hander Watson has steadily established himself as one of the top players on the circuit and yet it is his ability to conjure shots which gives him the greatest satisfaction.

cheap golf clubs"I definitely can't hit it dead straight. I like to move it every shot just because I feel more comfortable doing that," the 32-year-old from Bagdad, Florida told Reuters.

"Hitting big hooks and big cuts with irons, that's something I can do naturally. And I hit it in the trees a lot, so I know how to get out of trees pretty good," he added with a flashing smile.

Ever since he first appeared on the professional tours, the slim but loose-limbed Watson who regularly drives the ball over 310 yards has stunned fellow players with remarkable shots.

Tiger Woods vividly remembers watching him cut a one-iron over trees and on to the green from a distance of around 320 yards at the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan.

"We see him two groups ahead of us and we have a big logjam and he pulled out iron," 14-times major winner Woods, himself a prodigious hitter, recalled. "We heard he's long, but come on.

"All of a sudden you hear this huge roar. Callaway X24 Hot IronsHe pumped it on the green. I don't have that shot. If I hit a good three-wood, I'll probably fly it in the front bunker or bounce it in the front bunker. Yeah, he's long."

At the PGA Tour's season-opening Tournament of Champions in January, Watson set tongues wagging with another breathtaking blow -- this time a driver off the fairway from 305 yards.

Playing his second shot into the par-five 18th at the Kapalua Resort's Plantation Course in Hawaii, he moved the ball 50 yards from right-to-left in the air before it bounced, rolled and ended up 10 feet from the cup. He coolly sank the putt for a remarkable eagle three.
