VIDEO: Oblivious Bubba Watson signs autograph for fellow PGA Tour pro

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


When athletes get into the zone of signing autographs, they sometimes don't even bother to look up at the people holding the very things they're signing. Head down, keep the Sharpie moving.

That's what Bubba Watson was doing Wednesday night on the eve of The Players Championship, just putting his two-time-Masters-winning Hancock on whatever was thrust in front of his face.

Well, fellow PGA Tour pro Chesson Hadley decided to have a little fun at Watson's expense, showing up in his autograph line. What do you know, Watson signed what looks like a TPC Sawgrass scorecard for Hadley, never looking up -- even after prompted, with several people laughing.

Perhaps equally interesting is that no one in the crowd knew who Hadley, who won the 2014 Puerto Rico Open, was either.
