PACIFIC PALISADES, California (Reuters) - The PGA Tour's West Coast swing has always energised Bubba Watson and the American pronounced himself to be "on top of my game" ahead of his title defence at this week's Northern Trust Open.
The left-hander triumphed by two shots at the iconic Riviera Country Club last year, a win that proved to be a springboard for his most successful season on the U.S. circuit as he went on to claim a second Masters crown at Augusta National in April.
