For Bubba, burritos may hold key to golf success

In less than two weeks, Bubba Watson and Kelly Xu will be back at the Masters to defend their titles. Both are known for their tournament-winning swings, but Watson has a unique strategy to keep the birdies and eagles coming -- burritos.

"I would eat a burrito every day, sometimes two burritos depending on how hungry I was. And I won," Watson said Tuesday on "CBS This Morning."

In 2012, Watson's wife was living in Florida with their newly adopted son, Caleb.

"I could eat whatever I wanted to. I could eat the same thing every day," he said.

A year later when his wife and son returned, gone were the days of his tortilla-wrapped bean and cheese diet. No win for Watson in 2013.

"So in 2014 she said fine, you can eat whatever you want to eat. So I went all burritos again and I won again," Watson said.

Kelly didn't attribute her success to any savory treat, but is capturing attention nonetheless. Last year at 9 years old, she became the first female champion at the Augusta National Golf Club. She got her start just four years prior.

"My parents, my mom mostly, she said, 'Let's go take her to a summer camp and see how she likes this,'" Kelly said.

She said she fell in love with the sport.

"I made a lot of friends that day and I said to myself, 'If this is how it's going to be if I play golf, then why not?' So I'm still playing until now," Kelly said.

But she's not just playing. Both she and Watson are involved with the Drive, Chip and Putt Championship, a free nationwide youth golf development program. Watson said it caught his attention the day before the Masters last year.

"I was watching this on TV, watching these kids, and it was inspiring," Watson said. "You know, we're supposed to be inspiring these kids, but these kids are inspiring me."

He said he looked at his son and his wife and said, "I need to be out there."

"So I went out there and started shaking hands and talking to some of these kids, and it inspired me. It made me feel like a kid again, when I was just focused on having fun and playing golf, instead of the drive of a job," Watson said.

With this year's championships just weeks away, many have been wondering what Tiger Woods is planning.

"If I had to bet, if someone made me take a bet, I would say yes," Watson said. "If he's not injured, how would he miss it? And I think he's taken some time off to miss the game and get excited about it."
