Bubba Watson is already thinking about his career after golf, which just might include public office.He wants to run for mayor.Ive had a dream, Watson said. I moved back in the city limits of Pensacola (Florida) so one day I can run for mayor.The two-time Masters champion already is building quite the local enterprise at home. Last year he became a part-owner of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a Double A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. This year, he opened a candy shop in Pensacola called Bubbas Sweet Spot, serving up premium candy and ice cream.What American doesnt like chocolate? So for me, it was something fun, Watson said. That really is a kid in a candy store, like everyone talks about. We built it from scratch. That wasnt buying a shop.And he didnt stop there. His latest venture is a car dealership, Sandy and Bubbas Milton Chevrolet (he thinks the new electric car is going to be big), along with a robotics company in Pensacola that makes everything from military equipment to toys.He has invested in a few golf courses, and he is involved in an apartment complex being built in Pensacola.Its funny, I say to my friends, I say to my wife, to my manager, to my team that if you say `Bubba Watson the golfer, then youre limiting who I am, who I want to be and who I think I am, Watson said at the HSBC Champions. These other businesses are fun. Golf is fun. The golf is great. But there are other things I want to do. I have other dreams. Golf made it possible. Luckily for me, havent had bank loans. Im able to pay cash for these things.Watson, who defends his title next week in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, has 10 victories worldwide, and his PGA Tour earnings alone top $35 million. Its more than he imagined when he first reached the PGA Tour in 2006.But at 38, with two children, hes approaching a stage in is life when hes starting to think.He has lived in Orlando, Florida, and Scottsdale, Arizona, and North Carolina. He still keeps a home at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. But his future is near his birthplace of Bagdad in the Florida Panhandle, and he wanted to be sure to live in Pensacola to possibly run for mayor someday.To be back home ... my mom works in the candy shop, he said. The excitement around these businesses, the city of Pensacola realizes I love them. They brought me everything I have now. They took time to sponsor sporting events that I participated in. Thats the same thing Im doing. Im trying to help the community grow.So what would he do as mayor? Given a chance for some humor, Watson turned serious.The first thing you do is some form of education, he said. We talk inner city. Its where the most growth can happen, no matter what background you are. But it all starts with education.---INAUGURATION PLANS: Jim Herman will be going places he has never been in January. By winning the Shell Houston Open, he gets to start his year at Kapalua for the Tournament of Champions. And after the Sony Open, he is planning a trip to Washington to see one of his biggest supporters.I think Im going to go to the inauguration, Herman said.Herman gave up on the mini-tours and was working as an assistant pro when he landed a job at Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey. Once he was told that he would be playing with the boss -- Donald Trump -- Herman made a quick impression. Trump told him he was good enough to play the tour, and he helped financially back Herman, who eventually made it to the big leagues, and last year won his first PGA Tour event.Trump came to watch him in the FedEx Cup playoffs in 2015, not long after he announced his candidacy.And now hes the president-elect.Herman said he hasnt had a chance to talk to Trump yet. Trump will be at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for Thanksgiving.Hopefully, Ill be able to see him there, get a round in, Herman said. But his schedule is going to be pretty busy. I hope to get a word in with him and congratulate him. Its a pretty amazing run for him.---ERNIE AND ZAC: Ernie Els is thinking about signing up for the team event at the Zurich Classic, and he knew exactly whom to ask.Zac Blair.Never mind that they are separated by 21 years in age and 60 victories. Blair loves golf architecture and often will go to the classic courses to play during tournaments or his weeks off tour. Els designs golf courses and has taken a liking to the 26-year-old from Utah.You know what I like about Zac? Hes a freakin architect, Els said. We can talk architecture. He loves that. I love that, too.Blair said Els approached him about the team event, and hed love nothing better than to play New Orleans with the Big Easy.Wed have four majors between us, Blair said. Not many (teams) could say that.---TIME WARP: Mackenzie Hughes grew up near Hamilton Golf & Country Club, and he was the standard bearer at the Canadian Open in 2003. One of the players in his group that day was Steve Allan of Australia.Fast forward 13 years. Hughes won the Price Cutter Charity Classic on the Web.com Tour in August, all but assuring his PGA Tour card. Playing with him in the last group that day was none other than Allan.He had a huge laugh out of that, Hughes said.---PHILIPPINES SCRAPPED: Rory McIlroy was supposed to play an 18-hole exhibition with Jason Day in the Philippines.

RIO DE JANEIRO - World record holder Usain Bolt did not have nearly the fastest time in the preliminary rounds of the mens 200 but that was partly because he slowed down so much near the finish line while leading his heat that he could have been pushing a grocery cart. Plus, the heats were relatively early, starting around noon as opposed to the late night finals.I was a little tired, but it was a morning session and Im not a very good morning person, Bolt said. I just came out to qualify.Not surprisingly, he did so, winning his heat with a time of 20.28.That was well off his world record of 19.19 as well as the days top time of 20.09 by Canadas Andre De Grasse. It also was the 15th fastest time of the day.The heats are not about records, though. Especially for those who are fast enough that they can be confident they will advance without running at their absolute fastest race.Its not about time right now. Its about getting to the straight-away, holding your form and getting to the finish line, said Justin Gatlin, who advanced to the semifinal round with a time of 20.42. If you think about time, that will get into your head too much.The scheduling of the track events has been a little odd here. Thee turnaround between the 100 meter semifinals and the finals was not much more than hour, which both Bolt and Gatlin said caused them to have slower times than they had hoped.dddddddddddd The triple jump final was also held in the morningTuesday, starting at 10:50 a.m., which gold medalist Christian Taylor said he had never experienced before.It all required early morning starts for the Olympians.Its not just the run thats tiring, its the transportation getting to and from the athletes village to here because of the traffic, Gatlin said. You cant stay up too late but how could I not stay up to watch the womens 400 final last night? I had to make sure I watched that and then got right back upstairs to go to bed.Bolt, who won his third consecutive gold in the 100 Sunday, is the favorite in the 200, where he will try to win his third gold as well. The semifinals of the 200 are Wednesday and the finals are Thursday.American LaShawn Merritt, who medaled in the 400 Sunday, also qualified with a time of 20.15, the fourth best of the day, as did Ameer Webb with a time of 20.31.
