It was a jam-packed weekend around the tours, headlined by Bubba Watson capturing the WGC-Dell Match Play – his second title in his four most recent starts.

The two-time Masters winner made it look easy on Sunday, taking out World No. 2 Justin Thomas 5 and 3 in the morning, and then routing Kevin Kisner 7 and 6 in the championship match.

Watson, who had gone winless in two seasons, now has two wins in four starts, spanning just six weeks.

Meanwhile, down in the Dominican Republic, Brice Garnett went wire-to-wire at the inaugural Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship.

In California, Eun-Hee Ji shot a final-round 5-under par 67 to capture the 2018 Kia Classic by two shots ahead of Cristie Kerr and Lizette Salas.

And finally, in Mississippi, Steve Stricker posted a 4-under 68 on Sunday to capture the 2018 Rapsican Systems Classic, his second Champions Tour title in as many starts.

With that, let’s take a look at some of the sights and scores from the weekend on the pro golf tours.
