Bubba Watson Will Do Anything To Be On Ellen

Tod Leonard profiles Bubba Watson and opens with this wacky anecdote about his desire to get the attention of Ellen DeGeneres:

On Thursday, when play at the Bob Hope Classic was washed out by rain, Watson shot a video that he posted on Tweet Reel in which he hits a trick shot through a door out of his rented house, over a pool and into a bucket. He then takes a victory lap, jumps onto a slide and flops into the pool, fully clothed.

“I can show you this trick shot and you can teach me how to dance!” Watson says in the video.

He also shot another video in which he sings a birthday song to DeGeneres, and yesterday while he was finishing his third round, Watson looked into the camera and made another plea to Ellen.

All very creative, but here’s a thought: winning a golf tournament might help.
