good great low matter people shooting time
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.
best bit fun interested people players seeing trying
I'm trying to become one of the best players of all time, and it's fun that people are interested in seeing me and know that I have a little bit of game.
ideas people want
I'm mostly just getting used to the idea that people want to hear what I have to say.
people trying different
People always ask 'Why is Bubba different?' They're just trying to figure it out.
helping-others people inspire
I've learned... that sometimes coming public with certain things, it inspires other people. And sometimes I want to keep things private... but then I found out that it helps other families...
golf play people
I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was twelve. 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.
team past people
I have a good team around me. I have people I trust around me. If I go the wrong way, they will yell at me. Just as they have in the past.
jacket somebody won
It's an honor to see that green jacket in the bedroom closet, but I'm not going to become somebody else because I won the Masters.
I just wanna be me and play golf. I'm just Bubba.
If I have got a swing, I have got a shot.
hall length prove until win
Until I win and prove myself, length doesn't get you the record, it doesn't get you in the Hall of Fame, doesn't get you anything.
talks tournament
Normally when one reporter talks to you at a tournament it's no big deal.
bounds goal hit inside matter stakes white
My goal is to hit it inside the white stakes (out of bounds markers). No matter where it is, fairway, in the trees, as long as I have a swing, I'm happy.
again feels field hope knew shot somewhat today
It feels real good. Today I knew going into I was going to play good. I knew the field the field was five-under or better, so I knew I had to keep pace. And I somewhat did. I shot seven-under and I hope I can do it again tomorrow.
