THE HISTORY
Bubba Watson became the tournament's second most successful player after winning in 2018 and taking his championship wins to three, just one behind Bill Casper. 2009 winner Kenny Perry set the tournament low score of 258 with the winning total being an average of 16 under – modest for a course that measures just over 6800 yards testament to the course design at TPC River Highlands. Moreover, this has often resulted in close finishes with the average winning margin being just one stroke since 2009.
