KOHLER, Wisconsin (Reuters) - Bubba Watson is among the pre-tournament favourites for this week's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, where he has bittersweet memories of his performance at the links-style venue five years ago.

Though Watson was beaten in a playoff for the 2010 PGA Championship by Germany's Martin Kaymer, he looks back at that near miss as the moment when he finally realised he could compete toe-to-toe with the game's best players.
