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.
winning championship goofs
I’m here to win a championship. I’m not here to goof around
winning green diapers
Winning the green jacket is great - I can pay for all the diapers I'm going to have to get.
winning cards pay
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.
sports golf winning
I don't play the sport for fame. I don't try to win tournaments for fame. I don't do any of that. It's just me. I'm just Bubba. I goof around. I joke around. I just want to be me and play golf.
hit rather shoot wins
I'd rather shoot in the 60s every day rather than hit it long. I'd take two wins in a heartbeat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
