BATTLE OF THE BUCKLESYou're looking at the waistline of Bubba Watson, the longest hitter on the PGA Tour (315.4-yard driving average through early October) and a worthy challenger to Anthony Kim's flashiest-belt-buckle-in-golf title (
check out Kim's "AK" buckle). "Anthony Kim's got nothing on me. This is the real deal," Watson joked recently. "I've got a friend who's a jeweler, and he loves to custom-make stuff. His name is Robert Kaylor, from Boise, Idaho. We like to mess around with diamonds, and he came up with this buckle. It's pink sapphires and black diamonds." The buckle has been valued at $25,000, Watson says.
