Summary Bubba Watson fired a six-under par 66 Sunday to win the Hero World Challenge invitational event.
MIAMI (AFP) - Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson fired a six-under par 66 Sunday to win the Hero World Challenge invitational event in the Bahamas by three strokes.
The 37-year-old American, who won at Augusta in 2012 and 2014, captured the 18-man event hosted by Tiger Woods with a 72-hole total of 25-under 263 at the Albany resort.
Fellow American Patrick Reed was second on 266 after a 66 of his own with countryman Rickie Fowler shooting at 64 to stand fourth on 267, one stroke better than 2014 winner Jordan Spieth, the reigning Masters and US Open champion.
England s Paul Casey, who played in the final pairing alongside Watson, fired 70 to share fifth with American Bill Haas.
Watson had back-to-back birdies three different times Sunday, at the par-3 second and par-5 third, the par-5 sixth and par-4 seventh and on the first two holes of the back nine.
He birdied the par-4 14th and a bogey at the last only shrank the final victory margin.
England s Justin Rose fired a course-record 10-under par 62 Sunday, breaking the day-old mark shared by Casey and Watson.
Rose, the 2013 US Open champion, birdied the third and fourth holes, fired three in a row starting at the par-5 sixth, began the back nine with his sixth birdie and then fired four more in a row capped by a 2 at the par-3 17th. He finished on 275 overall.
