CHASKA, Minn. -- For a guy who was somewhat controversially left off the U.S. Ryder Cup team, Bubba Watson took the high road and came off looking like a good guy for still being part of the team as a vice captain.The two-time Masters champion just missed out on qualifying, then was passed over by captain Davis Love III despite being ranked No. 7 in the world.Instead of pouting, he pleaded to come to Hazeltine as an assistant, Love obliged, and all were glad he came following a 17-11 victory over Europe.Finally, I found my place on the team is to help, said Watson, who sobbed openly when Team USAs victory was confirmed.A couple of guys called me and said, Bubba, I need you by my side, shoulder to shoulder. And the last couple of days, thats what I did. It was a dream come true for me. This is the greatest thing I have ever done in golf. I am so happy for this team. This team was amazing. They took me with open arms and let me be a part of it.Watson remained emotional talking about the experience. He said his father, Gerry, last saw him play golf during the 2010 Ryder Cup, less than two weeks before he passed away.He [Watson] is the reason I got around today, said Brandt Snedeker, who won his match with Andy Sullivan 3 and 1.Hes the reason why I got my point today. He was in my ear all day, walking with me every step of the way, letting me know he was supporting me 100 percent. That means a ton in this kind of stuff.A guy like him, putting his ego to the side and saying, I want to be a part of this. You need somebody in your corner all the time. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Hats/ . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later.
