CROMWELL, CT - Some golf tournaments are won, some are lost, and others are decided by a combination of the two.

Although Bubba Watson shot a final round 66 and defeated Corey Pavin and Scot Verplank in a sudden death playoff for his first career PGA Tour win, the 2010 Travelers Championship was lost by Justin Rose.

Rose began the day with a three-stroke lead over the field, a six-stroke lead over Watson and Pavin and an eight-stroke lead over Verplank.

Rose could have posted a two-over-par round of 72 and still tied for the lead.

A one-over-par round of 71 by Rose on a day when 45 players scored in the 60s would have won him the tournament outright.

“If somebody would have told me that at the beginning of the day if I shot four-under, I would've thought I would come in Top 5 or something,” Watson told the media after his round.

“It’s hard to play golf when you feel like you’re going to miss every putt from two feet,” was how Rose somberly described his final round 75.

Now, that’s not to take anything away from Watson, Verplank, or Pavin.

A golf tournament is decided over 72 holes, and Watson, Verplank, and Pavin needed 266 strokes to complete 72 holes while Rose needed 269.

Things really began to go south for the leaders (Rose and Ben Curtis) when they reached the par-four 12th.  Both players were tied for the lead at 14-under-par before Curtis hit his tee shot out of bounds left while Rose’s tee shot sailed 20 yards right of the fairway and found the tall fescue.

By the time Curtis walked off the 12th green with a double bogey and Rose with a bogey, Verplank had become the first man in more than 54 holes not named Rose to lead the golf tournament outright.

Rose would go on to double bogey the short par-four 15th before sealing his fate with another bogey at the 16th.
