MASTERS TOURNAMENTApril 12, 2015Bubba WatsonAUGUSTA, GEORGIA Q. You had the shot of the tournament on 2 today. Barely missing an albatross, double eagle. Just take us through the hole, your tee shot and then the second shot to the green? BUBBA WATSON: The tee shot, the tees were up. When I say up, they were up a couple yards. So the wind wasn't into us. So I hit a good tee shot. I liked it off the tee. Got down there, I was just in between a 6‑iron and 5‑iron. I was waiting for this gust of wind. So then we went with a 5‑iron and I hit it perfect. I knew it would go to the center of the green and then it was just all about how the bounce was. And it bounced perfectly and started rolling. So I knew it was going to be good. Obviously, you don't know how good from 220 something yards away, but obviously I could make eagle, it was close enough. Q. As it was rolling what was going through your stomach? Did you think it had a chance? BUBBA WATSON: You always think it has a chance when it's rolling. Then you see people a few feet away stand up and when you see people stand up, that means it's got to be close. So, a few years ago in '12 when I won, in 2012, when I won, Louis Oosthuizen, he holed it out with a 4‑iron. So we had those same thoughts, my caddie started laughing and he said, "Oh, man, I thought you were going to do the same thing he did in 2012." So there's always those thoughts. Q. (No Microphone.) BUBBA WATSON: Some things like that that have caused me to shoot the numbers I have. Not that I was going to win, because there's a guy out there a couple guys out there playing really good, but I thought I would have a better chance of playing a better score than I had the last, this weekend. Q. We're a couple months away, do you know much about Chambers Bay? BUBBA WATSON: I played it twice. Ryan Moore had a charity event out there. So I played it twice. That doesn't mean it's going to be the same conditions. So I've seen it, but I haven't seen it in the setup that they have been talking about. Q. What did you think? BUBBA WATSON: I thought it was good. Again, if they set it up firm and fast it's going to be a British Open. Because there's no trees. There's one tree and it's in the distance.
