B. Watson hits only eight GIR; zero birdies
Feb. 14, 2013 - 8:45 PM ET

Bubba Watson stumbled his way to a 6-over-par 37-40=77 in his opening round of the Northern Trust Open.

The lefty simply didn't have it today. He landed just eight greens in regulation and failed to convert a single birdie. Meanwhile, he swallowed six bogeys, three of which as a result of whiffed par attempts from inside 10 feet. Today's score is his highest in 18 career competitive rounds of Riviera Country Club.
