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.
ideas people want
I'm mostly just getting used to the idea that people want to hear what I have to say.
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.
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.
people trying different
People always ask 'Why is Bubba different?' They're just trying to figure it out.
nice rounds shoot three
It'd be nice to go out there and shoot a little 4-under tomorrow. That will give me 70, 69 and 68 in my three rounds over here (on the South). That'd be pretty nice.
talks tournament
Normally when one reporter talks to you at a tournament it's no big deal.
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.
goal
With no rough, you could get around here without making too many bogeys. My goal was not to make bogeys and the birdies will happen.
afternoon asking kids nobody sat sony sunday talk three walked weeks
Three weeks ago nobody wanted to talk to me. I walked on at Sony and I got about two or three kids asking for autographs. But then Sunday afternoon I sat there for as long as they'd keep coming.
couple hit next shots tee watched
He watched me hit a couple of tee shots and said, 'OK, next week, you can have a pink-shafted driver.
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.
