Is there any doubt that Bubba Watson is one of the three or four most gifted golfers on the PGA tour?

Watson did not just show up and take his congratulations; he was a natural. His give-and-take with Letterman demonstrated that he is a good guy who was not impressed with his status. In short, you would be happ...
