Anyone watch the cheesy ING shotmaker thing on tonight? Not surprisingly, I found Trevino, Bubba Watson and Paula Creamer very entertaining. Suzann Petterson, not so.
I liked it when Bubba quipped he hadn't seen the line on a Lee T. putt because he didn't want to watch Trevino's putting stroke, and Lee said something like "you might want to memorize that stroke since it won 6 majors."
Creamer was weak on wedge distances and Petterson was pathetic on a teed up basic bunker shot (I've noticed there are some very good LPGA players who are really weak sand players, I find that surprising).
Anyway. Bubba Watson hits all his shots with that wedding ring up finish. He hits his 56 degree wedge for EASY swing 120 yard shots. I'm sure his swing speed is high, but is he just using a tremendous amount of lean on every shot? Is that why he moves everything with big draws and cuts? I thought Trevino looked like with a few days warm-up he'd kick Bubba's butt on wedge shots (even if Bubba did hit some excellent shots).
Lee T, by the way, really uses the gather-up-the-marbles finish on most types of wedge shots.
