CROMWELL, Conn. After winning his third PGA Tour title in the span of five months, Bubba Watson is now waiting by his phone.Watsons victory at the Travelers Championship, his third at TPC River Highlands since 2010, accompanies recent victories at both the Genesis Open and WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play from earlier this year. It also moved the southpaw from No. 7 to No. 5 in the latest U.S. Ryder Cup standings, with the top eight after the PGA Championship qualifying automatically.After serving as an assistant captain at Hazeltine despite ranking No. 7 in the world at the time, Watson made it clear that he hopes to have removed any doubt about returning to the role of player when the biennial matches head to Paris this fall.

It still says in my phone that (U.S. captain) Jim (Furyk) hasnt texted me yet. So Id really like for him to say Im going to pick you no matter what, Watson said. The motivation is Ive never won a Ryder Cup, so making the Ryder Cup team and trying to win a Ryder Cup as a player would be another tournament victory to me. It would be a major championship to me just because Ive never done it, been a part of it.Watson turns 40 in November, and while he reiterated that his playing career might not extend too far into the future as he looks to spend more time at home with son Caleb and daughter Dakota, hes also hoping to make an Olympic return in Tokyo in 2020 after representing the U.S. in Rio two years ago.Talking about the Olympics coming up, thats motivating me, he said. It was the best experience of my life to watch all the other events, and then the golf tournament got in the way. Id love to do it again. Id love to watch all the events and then have to play golf as well.
I'll take the wins. Furyk has had plenty of opportunities to win in the last five years and hasn't been able to deliver, including your "weak field" events. Plus Walker was one of the few Americans to win singles in the Ryder Cup, while Furyk choked up the lead in the last two Ryder Cup singles against Sergio.
