I'll try to do is -- is here at a critical moment on golf's biggest stage here's a scene for you the masters at the Augusta National.

Facing in nearly impossible situation this -- going to be easier -- this by the way about.
I'd shooting his reputation for creativity but the main shot Sherri good -- does -- golf's most magical moments.
And he won the Green jacket that he wears now twenty -- masters champion Bubba Watson is here with us have you replay that moment time and time again.
You know I've had time -- -- yeah I think -- it off since Sunday.

There's a great you know feels great that.
Not a pull that shot off those great to us see it on video clips.
Those -- media just like -- -- So -- to my son.
Thousand -- and it's more amazing -- than winning -- injected.
His -- is -- And how old is he now.
Six weeks got and that one month announced two weeks -- six weeks.
That -- quite a journey you adopted.
This little boy I can tell us about that journey and and why he made that.
-- We first started dating meanwhile life now my wife.
-- telling that she could non which could have kids so we had to adopt in our first date she tell me this itself.
So that's fine if god wants us to adopt -- wants to seven kids can have kids other ways and so on.
She's a perfect.
So we started dating got married and in four years until we start the process lot of stuff happened that for years we moves we had a certain process over my dad got cancer my dad passed away.
So we had a kick start a process over of adoption so this when -- we really.
-- -- after adoption in -- got turned down a couple times from other other families but this.
It's beautiful lady respected us enough to those have a child in -- And two weeks ago we brought home two weeks -- primary for it that you had yet to change a diaper.

But I bet says that your next step.
Gun on -- yes for sure.

Can't wait to get there to be the first time that us three are together without email surround.

Especially after so many people watch you play.
And that something really incredible when you watch the game of golf -- see everyone's lined up there.
Player taken a shot and you know everyone's watching on TV but -- -- quiet he has so much going on in your life how did you keep your focus.
And so the ropes on the golf course it's easier you know if you're so focused on what you're doing -- to focus on the job so focused on trying to win a Green jacket.
She'll have time to -- -- the other stuff and if you do you probably not going to be facility for you might be going home early.
So it's just easier -- from inside the ropes just focus -- one -- -- doing non.
I can put my mind some like that.
And made life easier talked to my wife after every round -- mornings and she sent me pictures of Taylor throughout the day -- -- -- got a semi finished.
