Bubba Watson looked well on his way to a weekend tee time at the 2024 Masters.

In the blink of an eye, that changed.

Watson, a two-time champion at Augusta National Golf Club, was 2 over for the tournament when he made the turn. And that's where it went downhill. There was a double bogey at 10. A quadruple bogey at 11. And then another double bogey at 12.

From 2 over to 10 over in a heartbeat. From a weekend tee time to a missed cut in a three-hole stretch.

With gusty winds Friday, the first three holes of the back nine are eating the lunch of most players who go through the stretch.

Perhaps Watson could've been helped by his daughter putting for him like we saw Wednesday.
