Rich Easton dives into the fascinating psychology behind Bubba Watson's dramatic collapse at the Travelers Championship, going from leading at 13-under par to a series of bogeys on the final five holes. Harris English eventually claimed victory after an epic eight-hole playoff against Kramer Hickok that finished just as darkness fell.

• The number 13 proves unlucky for Bubba Watson when his wheels "fall off" after holding the lead
• A confrontation at Patriots Point practice facility highlights the worst in golf etiquette when a man refuses to apologize for dangerous behavior
• Patriots Point Golf Course disappoints after renovations, with tree removal transforming it into "a goat field" despite its prime waterfront location
• Manolo Vega emerges as golf's entertaining TikTok sensation with his unique instructional style
• Why golf partners often can't resist commenting when you're playing unusually well – psychological warfare, jealousy, or harmless bromance?
