Bubba Watson commenting on Elkington walking while shooting.

[kendall65]

I'm certainly not a golfer on Bubba's level, but I'm decent enough to be under scratch...and if I'm playing with someone that moves, walks, whispers, clanks their clubs, cleans their clubs, rakes the bunker.....whatever, while I'm playing my shot, I suddenly struggle to break 80. And coincidently, I'm out-of-control ADD, which is a big issue with Bubba. People who don't deal with this issue have no idea what it's like to try to hit a shot with someone walking. It's hell.

[crawfish1313]

@kendall65 I have trouble breaking 80 when it's quiet. Actually I've only done it 4-5 times so I don't feel sorry for you. :-)

[MrLuigiFercotti]

Elk must have chirped back at him after the first comment. Anyone who's been to pro tourney knows guys don't move around if you're in another players line of sight. Elk either didn't care or was effing with Watson. You hear two versions of Elk, real class act or bit of an ahole. Probably both are partially true.

[slimdotjim]

Steve Elkington is a legend, Bubba watson will be a legend. Just a bad day at the office, and Bubba did apologise

[ybya923]

i'm sorry, who just won last week at torrey pines? right, bubba.

[ninecycles]

Oh yea he's self taught never had a formal lesson, forgot about that

[ninecycles]

Bubbas 09 stats: 1.4 million

Driving: 311.4 yards

Eagles: 77.3

Putting: 1.7

::

Longest drive 06 Sony open 398 yards

Hit a 9 iron 194 y. Dead center green on Sunday, but he sucks right!

We all wish we could do that, don't lie you know you do.

[hockeygambler]

Wish I could get my playing partner to stop moving when I hit... imagine Don Knotts or Rodney Dangerfield on cocaine...

[xexeron1]

Well, I guess the best indication that karma is a bitch is the fact that Elk finished tied for 10th at 8 under at this tournament (2008 Zurich Classic) and Bubbles Watson tied for 70th with a +1. Bubba acts like a D-Bag, he scores like a D-Bag and gets crossed up by a real professional in Elkington to the tune of 9 strokes....

[AmericanPatriot369]

2008 stats for Steve Elkington - Scoring Average; 70.67 - Money; 1.2 milliion - FEDEx Standing; 84th

2008 stats for Bubba Watson - Scoring Average; 71.07 -Money; 1.5 million - FEDEx Standing; 30th

Now why don't you look at the 09 stats and tell me who has the better karma.

[quadence]

@AmericanPatriot369 Bubba

[xexeron1]

I love it when dumbasses start popping off-they sound EVEN MORE like the ass clowns they really are. So Bubba had "the balls" to tell him to quit walking around and that makes it ok?? If he was a seasoned professional golfer like Elkington he would have politely asked him to stop walking and not make a big deal of it. Maybe Bubba will have "the balls" to win a golf tourney some day...

[hjgardner79]

in general I agree with you, but we also don't know if there was off-camera history between them earlier in the round/tournament.

[stevied571]

yes i remember this and apparently something else happened either the day before or earlier in that round.also there has been a few other players who have had issues with steve but bubba should probably been a bit more professional

[AmericanPatriot369]

Bullshit! Elkington is a veteran and should know better then to pull that crap on the course, he has been known for being a prick on tour. Bubba had a lot of balls to call him out, other players in his position would have kept their mouths shut. Karma is a bitch aint it?

[vault03]

@xexeron1 - looks like he did :)

[MAlatinboy]

@xexeron1 oh, like a win earlier this year and making the playoffs for the '10 pga. then making the ryder cup high on the list? while elkington finished several shots out at the pga (making it his ONLY good finish this year) and didn't make the ryder cup. guess watson still doesn't have the balls? yeah maybe he got too mad, but a smart veteran walking during your shot repeatedly is apparently okay. bubba has obv grown past his attitude and proved critics like you wrong. so who's the douchebag?

[xexeron1]

Bubba is a hick douch who can hit the ball far- that is about it.

Elk is a seasoned vet on the PGA tour with 10 career vics (including a MAJOR win in a playoff over Mrs. Doubtfire Colin Montgomerie)- Bubbles Watson can only hope to have a career anything like Elks.

And to the bonehead that ripped J Rome- you're just an idiot, plain and simple...

[hay0506]

bite me you prick, colin montgomerie is 50 times the player that steve fathead elkington is.

[rcw0388]

Doesn't matter how seasoned of a vet you are you don't walk around while people are hitting plain and simple. Elk is a bitch and Bubba had the balls to tell him to quit walking. Dumbass.

[wharffratt]

Elkington is a prick fuck whose passed his prime. Bubba dog cussed that douche bag and Elk just stood there and took it like a little bitch.

[Louie212121]

Elkington probably kept walking cus he got distrcted just thinking about his PGA Championship, and 2 Players Championships'.

Bubba was probably angry that they were out of fried chicken in the clubhouse and that there's going to be a black man in office.

[W0weeZ0wee]

Thanks for your opinion, Fuzzy Zoeller.

[supergolfdude]

Anyone who would support a redneck gamesmanship expert like dogfaced Elkington knows absolutely NOTHING about golf.

Anyone who would listen to smack-talking wuss Jim Rome deserves to look like a complete idiot with regards to golf.

[depoych]

Elk would verbally abuse and crush dumb ass Bubba. There's a reason why Bubba's name is "Bubba" and why Elk is the ultimate favorite on the Rome Show. Elk is the funniest trash talker on the tour. Bubba on the other hand is Foxworthy with clubs.

[hunk4hire]

Roger Maltbie and Johnny Miller were talking about this on TV. They were saying that Watson's length off the tee was contributing to the friction between him and Elkington. His shots were routinely 50 yards in front of Elkington's, hence Elk's habit of continuing to walk even when Bubba was taking a shot, as he was way behind Watson on the fairway.

Miller said that even if you're that far behind and are out of sight, the rule is STOP, when the other guy is about to hit.

[depoych]

I wish I would have been in that scorer's tent to hear Elkington humilate and humble 50 IQ Bubba. Elk is a master at putting dumb asses in their place.

[teewoods]

Bubba- Typical dumb red neck AMerican!

[golferhawaii94]

i just saw this on the golf channel

ahahhahahaa

[u2josh9]

Having walked with Bubba before, Elkington must be a real ass to piss him off.

[tom111869]

Elk's a dick!
