What they said: Bubba Watson
Q. What did you hit in on 18?
BUBBA WATSON: I hit a 7-iron. A perfect 7-iron, perfect distance. Just tried to fly it on the front. As long as we put it on the front, we were fine because it should bounce up there.

Q. What happened on the green? What did Rickie say to you about dinner?
BUBBA WATSON: Rickie said he's buying dinner. ( Read Bubba Watson more... )

Mille himself, you learn that in choosing people to work with, taking into consideration their personality and demeanor is as important as their performance.
