Anybody who has spent five minutes around Watson

Asked how he will deal with the spotlight's added glare, Watson said: "Just make up more stuff. Just lie a little bit. They'll fall for it. Start giving p.c. answers and then they won't want to talk to me."

He was kidding. Anybody who has spent five minutes around Watson knows political correctness is not in his repertoire. On the course, he loves to hook shots for the thrill of the recovery, but off it he is a straight shooter.

"I'm just Bubba from Bagdad, Florida," Watson said. "Small town. Play golf because I love the game of golf. I play golf because it's fun. Every day is different."

Eric O’Flaherty escaped the jam by striking out Chris Snyder

Eric O'Flaherty escaped the jam by striking out Chris Snyder to end the inning.

Pinch-hitter Eric Hinske drove in an insurance run with a single in the eighth inning that made it 6-4.

Houston had a chance to tie in the ninth, but Johnson grounded into a double play with runners on first and second and nobody out before Snyder grounded to third to end it.

"I let them off the hook a little bit," Johnson said. "It was a bad night. This one is on me. I had a bunch of guys on base when I was hitting, and I didn't come up with the big hit. I'll take this one."
