Memories of a young Bubba Watson
Golfweek
Share
A number of years ago, before he made his way to the PGA Tour, Bubba Watson was playing the Nationwide Tour's Rheem Classic at Hardscrabble Country Club in Fort Smith, Ark.
Golfweek's Ron Balicki happened to be at the event that week, working on a few future feature stories. During a practice round while heading back to the media center, Balicki heard Watson say, "Don't you want to talk to me?" He just smiled and answered jokingly, "Why would I want to talk to you?" Watson's reply was, "Because I'm the best left-handed Bubba from Bagdad, Fla., in the field."

NATIONWIDE TOUR STORYLINES - Week of April 16
Provided by the Nationwide® Tour
NO EVENT
The Nationwide Tour travels east this week before playing two events in Georgia —
the South Georgia Classic in Valdosta (April 26-29) and the Stadion Classic at UGA
in Athens (May 3-6).
ALEX ARAGON IS TPC STONEBRAE SURVIVOR — With constant delays due to rain and fog, it was a minor miracle the TPC Stonebrae Championship completed 72 holes on time Sunday. Stanford grad (2001) and Mexico City-born Alex Aragon did the best job of anyone, slogging his way through it all to capture his first Nationwide Tour victory in his 41st start. It wasn't an easy week on the golf course or off it. From Thursday through Sunday he played 18, 0, 33 and 21
holes, respectively. On Thursday, he managed to lock his keys in his car on the way to TPC Stonebrae, but thanks to a two-hour fog delay didn't miss his tee time. Then on Friday, he left his wallet at a gas station and when he returned, it was gone.
