‘I’m Scared to Death’: Bubba Watson Makes a Brutally Honest Confession by Exposing His Mental Health Struggles

LIV Golf Tulsa is all set in motion as the players are ready for the final day of the tournament. However, the gameplay today witnessed some striking drives from the star players especially the captains of the team. Bubba Watson was one of the captains who stood out with his 64 and currently stands in the third position just four shots behind Dustin Johnson.

The RangeGoats’ captain with his powerful birdies made a statement and tried to lessen the gap on the leaderboard for his team. Although, the task is more difficult than it may seem. The Goats entered the field in Oklahoma with a colossal 37 points gap from the first spot 4Aces. Whereas this may be true, it hasn’t deterred the captain and other players from playing their A-game. Hence, this fighting spirit may be the reason behind the golf momentum on which Watson shared some insight during the post-match conference.

The star also added how such thoughts have been there when he was part of the PGA Tour for 15 to 16 years. “It’s always going to be a battle for me, but the rust is definitely — I believe the rust is gone. Now it’s the shot making of knowing where to miss it and strategy on the golf course. You haven’t had it for nine months, so each day you’re gaining on it,” he said.

The LIV golfer seemed confident in battling his mental demons and putting his best foot forward.

Watson believes there is only one way to win

The 44-year-old shared with the audience his outlook regarding the tournament. He believed in his game and that it was gaining momentum. Moreover, the Pro reflected on his training. Especially, after the knee surgery which did not allow the golfer to play for almost nine months.

While commenting on his game, the star added, “I started off struggling today, but then I fought hard coming back. This is what I want to do. I want to feel those nerves tomorrow. I want to get in contention again. That’s the only way to have a chance to win is to get into contention.”
