"I mean, it's just not fun. I love the game of golf, and I think it should be in three hours."

Seems Quail Hollow 36-hole leader Bubba Watson isn't a fan of slow play and he's not afraid to say something about it, reports Steve Elling.

Watson shot a 7-under 65 on Friday to move into a share of first place with Retief Goosen halfway through the Quail Hollow Championship, so he will surely face a long, distracting walk in Saturday's third round.

Watson, who has never won on the Nationwide or PGA Tour level, said the reason for his meandering mind is simple. The 30-year-old, the tour's reigning driving-distance champion from 2008, talks fast and prefers to play even faster.

"Five hours of PGA Tour golf," he said. "I mean, it's just not fun. I love the game of golf, and I think it should be in three hours. When I'm at home, I don't know the last time I shot in the 70s playing with my buddies or playing at home.

"I've shot in the 60s all the time because I'm in a cart, playing as fast as I want and moving around the golf course. I don't have time to think about which way the wind is blowing, I just hit the ball.

"That's what my caddie wants me to do. The mental part is just hard. It's hard for me because I didn't listen in school ... Just for me to focus for that long is just hard."
