Nice article on Bubba......look I know the guy is a jerk, but he's earned some respect for me with the way he's embraced his Olympics participation. After hearing all the whining and complaining by so many other stars who don't know how lucky they have it, nice to see:

A couple of things from the article that resonated for me:
"It's absolutely amazing,'' Watson said. "What a privilege and honor that golf is in the Olympics and to be a part of this. Right or wrong, it's hard for me to focus on golf because of the fact that it's just a dream of a lifetime to be associated with these great athletes.''
"This is a dream of a lifetime, golf just gets in my way,'' he said. "I'm taking it all in and learning. It shows how lucky and blessed golfers are. It's my profession and income and it's beyond belief. We should never be disgruntled about anything that happens in our life.''
Maybe that has rubbed off on his golf. Maybe Watson got a reality check by coming to Rio and realizing that he's got it pretty good, playing for millions of dollars every week, getting to travel on private jets, staying in five-star hotels.
