If You Wonder Why You Haven't Seen Bubba...

It's due to the fact Bubba is gambling the Japan Tour this week -- mainly, he's playing within the Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters. (Yeah, that's a mouthful.) At the time I'm scripting this, he still has one greater round to play. But since maximum of you probable are not getting updates, I concept I'd try to deliver you up-to-date.

Some of you can have visible this video that Bubba tweeted from Japan on Tuesday.

Pretty cool, huh?

Bubba is doing properly inside the match itself -- he seems to do very well in Japan, and he clearly seems to like playing there. After three rounds he unearths himself just two pictures off the lead. Japanese player Shingo Katayama -- he frequently wears a cowboy hat whilst he plays, keep in mind him? -- continues to be main the match at -14 (he has led considering the fact that the second one round) and Taiwanese participant Khrongpha Thanyakorn is just a stroke again. Then Bubba is at -12 and three other players at -eleven.

I did a short take a look at at the climate there -- Gotemba within the Shizuoka Prefecture of Japan -- and located that it is purported to be within the mid-60s, eighty two% humidity and 7mph winds with a 40% risk of rain (and the danger goes down because the day wears on). Those sound like precise scoring situations to me, despite the fact that the scores from the first 3 rounds indicate that the path is getting tougher. Bubba may additionally have his fingers complete prevailing this occasion.

You can discover the Taiheiyo Masters leaderboard at numerous web sites on the web. This hyperlink goes to the one at flashscore.Com, that's in English. You'll want to test in later these days and see if Bubba can near this tournament out. It will in all likelihood best get a quick point out on GC.

[UPDATE: Apparently the tournament was shortened to 54 holes and Shingo was declared winner. Bubba finished third.]
