Bubba Watson

“My dad's not here, but he's watching in heaven.”

“When I got my tour card I cried. When I got my first win - and my first pay check - I cried. All these things make me cry.”

“I'm a golfer not a history major.”

“I keep defying the odds, you know.”

“Normally when one reporter talks to you at a tournament it's no big deal.”

“I don't play golf for fame.”

“Kids below 10 or 12, I think they just need to learn by playing at golf. Later on, in high school, when they develop muscles and everything, that's when they need to see about getting lessons.”

“I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was 12. That's the great thing about golf. It doesn't matter how old or young you are. If you're 90 and can shoot a good score, people will want to play with you.”

“There is a lot of learning I have to do and a lot of growing up I have to do.”

“I don't take anything for granted.”

“People started coining the phrase, 'Bubba Golf,' whatever you want to call it, which I like. 'Bubba Golf' is going to be fun. I mean, why do what everybody else does? That's boring.”

“Everybody can see that my swing is homegrown. That means everybody has a chance to do it.”

“I am uncomfortable with heights, I'm scared of the dark and I am scared of big crowds.”

“Why do I want somebody to tell me what to do, tell me what I'm doing wrong? I want to be the boss.”

“If I have got a swing, I have got a shot.”
