For the second time in a little over a year, Bubbba Watson got emotional on camera. The first time was during a press conference in promotion of Bubba Golf. The topic of his upbringing came up, and Watson could hardly get a word out.
This time, it was during an interview at this past week's BMW with Steve Sands (aired on Monday's Golf Central). Although the question can't be heard, I'm assuming Sands asked Watson what it would mean for him to win on tour. Watson said:
It's something we strive to do. I haven't won yet, I want to win. The media talks about winning. But, for me, making the kind of money I'm making, supporting my wife (choking up)...it's a step in the right direction.
The first thing that comes to mind is Brandt Snedeker's Sunday press conference at this year's Masters. Seeing players like Watson and Brandt Snedeker express this kind of passion for the game is reassuring on so many levels.
