<p class="p1"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>By Ryan Herrington</strong></span><br />
If the only thing Bubba Watson did this week was win the Genesis Open, well that would be impressive all by itself. Particularly given Watson’s two-year mega slump entering the week and his admission that he considered retiring because of his play.</p>
<p class="p1">But considering everything else that Bubba took part in during his time in Los Angeles, it’s amazing to think that he had the energy to win a PGA Tour event at all.</p>
<p class="p1">Let’s review the week that was for Riviera’s big winner:</p>
<p class="p1">It began when Bubba filmed a show with Jay Leno:</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p class="p1">But that wasn’t the only celebrity Bubba hung out with. He also caught up with Ellen DeGeneres:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p class="p1">And then there was more TV, when he stopped by the set of “The Big Bang Theory”:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p class="p1">Of course, we read a lot about Bubba taking part in the NBA celebrity All-Star game. Here’s the frantic ride from Riviera to downtown L.A. on Friday to get to the game in time:</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p class="p1">And then there was Watson’s pictures from the event:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

<p class="p1">Funny, Bubba didn’t post this on his own social-media feed:</p>

<p class="p1">Meanwhile, in between all his Hollywood engagements, Bubba was playing in a golf tournament. After opening with a 68-70 to put himself in contention, the 39-year-old posted a weekend 65-69 to claim his 10th career PGA Tour title, helped in part with this beauty of a bunker shot.</p>

<p>Okay, so in review: 3 TV shows, 1 celebrity hoops game, 1 blocked shot, 1 holed-bunker shot, a 10th tour win. Not a bad little week.</p>
