Coming into his Sunday match against Martin Kaymer, Masters champion Bubba Watson was 0-3 all-time in Ryder Cup singles matches. His record did not improve against the German.
Watson was never competitive against Kaymer, losing four of the first six holes, including four in a row after a pair of opening halves. Watson appeared to mope his way through the match at that point, mustering just two wins in the match. After a win on the seventh hole with par, Watson then lost the eighth to give up any momentum he had and any chance of a comeback.
The match lingered for several more holes until the par-5 16th hole, when Kaymer chipped in for a match-ending eagle to spark the partisan crowd.
Bubba Watson did not play well this week, but ran into Europe's hottest player in Justin Rose and Martin Kaymer playing his best golf of the week.
Kaymer went 1-1-2 this week, largely playing mediocre to poor golf. However, when it mattered most, he saddled up well with Justin Rose to sub in for an injured Henrik Stenson and took a full point in his singles match. Good enough.
