-- Left Handed -- No where in this article does it mention Bubba's Left-handedness. I tried adding it to the intro, but it was reverted by an editor. It seems important enough to be somewhere in the article, but I don't know where to add it. 76.240.222.217 (talk) 20:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

>>>>but it was reverted by an editor Editors sure are officious. My question is... is that really a photo of Watson? Admittedly it was taken in 2007, and it's a side view, but it sure doens't look like the Bubba Watson of today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.45.173.135 (talk) 22:32, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Height is not 6'-3" and photo is wrong

I don't know where that 6'-3" height info came from, but it cannot be correct. I just watched Bubba challenge at the Cadillac Chmp. in Miami- he was definitely much SHORTER than the majority of players in his group(s) - and nowhere near as tall as the ultimate winner Justin Rose who is reported here to be 6'-2.5" I'd put his height at under 6'.

I also do not believe the photo shown is of Bubba Watson. Watson's hair has been over-the-ear length with long sideburns for some time now, and Bubba is nowhere near as heavy-set as the person in that photo. He also has a mole on the right side of his face, around the smile-line. Moucon (talk) 22:57, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The height comes directly from his PGA Tour profile. I have a copy of the 2007 PGA Tour Media Guide (published in late 2006), in which his hair is much shorter than it is now, but not as short as in the picture (which was taken in July 2007). Since the picture shows the left side of his face, the mole is no use in identifying him. I think it is his picture. Tewapack (talk) 02:54, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can we change the picture to a more current one. He is 6'3. I'm 6'7 and had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife this year at a UGA basketball game. His wife is slightly taller than him and has always been listed as 6'4. It's legit. But seriously, let's change the pic.

He has had much longer hair for a long time, surely now he has won a major there needs to be a more recent picture
