Bubba Watson seals victory by one shot at Torrey Pines. Bubba Watson held off late charges by fellow American Phil Mickelson and Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas to win the Farmers Insurance Open by a shot on Sunday.



Left-hander Watson, a stroke off the pace going into the final round at Torrey Pines, fired a five-under-par 67 to clinch his second PGA Tour title.

The 32-year-old coolly got up and down from a greenside bunker to birdie the par-five last, sinking a curling 12-footer, and post a 16-under total of 272.

Mickelson, a three-times champion here, closed with a 69 to secure second place while Vegas bogeyed the last for a 68 and a tie for third at 13 under with American Dustin Johnson (66).
