LOS ANGELES — Bubba Watson joked that when Jason Kokrak’s wife, Stephanie, sat across from Watson at breakfast in the Riviera clubhouse on Sunday, he told her: “You know, people don’t like me. You might not want to be seen near me.”
We hope he was kidding. Watson is good company and better copy. Anyone inclined to give him a wide berth must have a pretty narrow view of what makes for interesting conversation. Unfailingly honest and unshakably human, Watson, 37, held a news conference after his victory at the Northern Trust Open that unfurled like an Erhard Seminars Training session.
