RIO DE JANEIRO — Bubba Watson may or may not win an Olympic medal. But if they awarded one for best U.S. Ambassador to the Rio Games, he’s at least on the podium.
Or maybe it’s his fellow U.S. golfers — Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler and Patrick Reed.
There was plenty of attention on a handful of top pros who decided not to compete in Rio. Seven days into the Olympics, dare we say they are the ones missing out? The Americans are soaking it in.
“You know, right or wrong, it’s hard for me to focus on golf because of the fact that it’s just a dream, dream of a lifetime to be associated with these great athletes,” Watson said.
