An interview is presented with professional golfer Lee Westwood. He discusses his move from Worksop, England to Florida where he is a member of the Old Palm golf club and plays with fellow professionals Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen. Other topics discussed include Westwood's relationship with golfer Rory McIlroy, the 2012 Ryder Cup golf tournament, and his training regiment.

The article reports on golfer Bubba Watson, the 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound left-hander who averaged 334 yards off the tee on the Nationwide Tour in 2005. Watson is so strong, in fact, that fellow Nationwide Tour pro Dan Olsen calls him "a white orangutan." According to Boo Weekley, Watson's childhood friend from the Florida panhandle, the commentators aren't going to know what to say, as long as he is and the way he shapes his shots. The only halfway-decent golfer in his family, Watson, 27, grew up hitting such shots with plastic balls around his parents' house in Bagdad, Florida, near Pensacola.
