The 19th Hole Golf Show: Bubba Watson thorny at Phoenix Open

Bubba Watson heard it from the fans at the Waste Management Phoenix Open just a day after saying he was only playing the event to appease his sponsors. We talk about the latest incident of Watson putting his foot in his mouth and the phoniness of his promises to improve as a person and appeal to fans.

We also talk about Ernie Els and how he seems to have found a putting stroke that works in Dubai.
