Bubba: "Justin Bieber is the only person I talked to on the phone that night after I won."

E Online has an exclusive that no self-respecting golf writer would have dared (or thought of) to ask about.

"Justin Bieber is the only person I talked to on the phone that night after I won," Watson revealed. "He called me and I talked to him on the phone and he and Selena were congratulating me, and it was a big honor that they would both call me and talk to me."

The video can be viewed here. I'd embed it, but it automatically plays and I find that annoying.

What a weird guy

[Will o'the Glen]

Bubba is DEFINITELY not your daddy's Master's champion. I applaud his skill, but yes, he is a weird guy. Golf fights a preconception of elitism, but do we need to "dumb it down" quite so much?

[elf]

Now this is an embarrassment to the sport :)

[CapSize]

It's Bubba. What do you think he listens to -- Wagner? Though I must admit, I had thought young Mr. Bieber's following was about a third of Bubba's age and heavily female -- tweeny-bop.

Next thing, we'll find out he lards himself with Axe every day.

[RickABQ]

I'll never look at Bubba the same again.

I knew there was some reason I wanted Oosty to win, but I would have never figured this was it...

[johnnnycz]

I would have taken that sort of info to my grave.

Question: Didn't he make ANY friends during his days at UGA who would have immediately started bombarding his voice mail?

[Buddha]

My panties are wet with excitement.

[CharlieG]

Cut him a break, Bieber looks like a hot chick to me too.

[aaron]

This is pretty great for the game. We need young people playing golf. If bieber is interested then maybe kids will pick up clubs everywhere. While I think he's weird, too, uniqueness is interesting.

[A3]

Crying and liking Bieber, The PGA tour finally has its first Teenage girl major winner!

[carnaptious and camsteerie]

Who's Justin Bieber ...

[Dirtclod]

Now why is that beyond hard to believe?

Bubba, you need some friends.

[Del the Funk]

Very very strange.

The rest of the Pensacola Mafia figured Bubba out a long time ago...

[John R]

Can he bring them as guests to the Champions dinner?

[Larry In Minnesota]

Gives new meaning to the phrase "this just-in"

[Felix]

What's with all you guys and the Biebs? Because he is Canadian!?

[bob]

stuff like this makes me think Bubba's acting

[Rob]

When I first heard his name, I though it was Justin Beaver. Then upon hearing that he was from Ottawa, I was certain this was the case. When I first saw his name in print, I had to has "who is this Beeber guy?

Maybe Bubba thinks its Justin Beaver.

[Hole in Three]

Bieber was hamming it up with the Toronto Maple Leaf players on the ice at some skating session earlier this year.

That team is stacked with nothing but pussies - who are only familiar the word "playoff" in a theoretical context.

That should be a warning to Bubba if Bieber wants to play a friendly round and ham it up.

[John Morris]

Bubba's a young man with a young Canadian wife, maybe Beiber is what they listen to, he's not Beethoven , but no harm in it. Doesn't bother me in the least and should not offend anyone
John

Didn't Jack get a call from Shawn Cassidy after the 86 Masters?

[sgolfer]

Yeah, like Shaun Cassidy was so huge in 1986.

I think he was begging for change outside of Von's in Brentwood by that stage.

[Ky Laffoon's Ghost]

Justin Bieber? Really? Jeebus. c&c, you don't want to know.

It was Marty McFly who called Jack.

[Ari]

33 year old man are not even remotely in Bieber's market demo but nice try John.

[Average Golfer]

Young Bieber's a professed devout Christian, hence the connection.

[Liberace]

I'm rethinking that pink driver.

[Sigmund]

Crying non-stop, General Lee, and now this. The boy's headed for a padded cell.
