Video: Bubba To Caddie: "There's just no reason for me to show up."
/Thanks to Doc from golfcentraldaily.com for this mini-meltdown by Bubba Watson directed at caddie Ted Scott during the Travelers Championship final round.
Ken Duke beat Chris Stroud on the second hole of sudden death to win.
Meanwhile out on the Champions Tour, the caddies have been told not to enter a certain restroom. Rough times for loopers!
**Corrected the headline to note he said "me" and not you.
*Bubba talked about 16 after the round.
Brian Wacker's post round account, which was misreported in another publication as a confrontation but which another witness tells me was severely taken out of context.
Wacker quotes caddie Ted Scott:
"I 100 percent take responsibility for it. It's totally my fault. I got in the way of the painter on that one."
For his part, Watson defended Scott and said of the exchange they were simply trying to figure out what went wrong. "Did we do the yardage wrong, was it a gust of wind? We were just trying to figure out what was going on," Watson said.
"We planned to do one thing and it didn't do it. We mis-clubbed is all." Watson went on to shoot his second straight 70 and finished in fourth alone. It was his second top 10 in a stroke play event on the PGA TOUR this season.
