While Tim Tebow was busy confirming to E! News that he's "definitely single" at his charity golf tournament gala over the weekend, Masters champ Bubba Watson showed off his quirky sense of humor at the very same event, as evidenced in the above clip.

But there was one part of our chat with the golfer that really got our attention. The topic? His friendship with none other than...Justin Bieber!

"Justin Bieber is the only person I talked to on the phone that night after I won," Watson revealed. "He called me and I talked to him on the phone and he and Selena were congratulating me, and it was a big honor that they would both call me and talk to me."

Mind you, such a thing doesn't come as a complete shock considering Watson did attend the Never Say Never premiere last year and the fact that the teen sensation tweeted his congrats following Watson's win. But still pretty cool nonetheless, right?

Meanwhile, when asked to comment on Bieber's ability on the golf course, Watson playfully replied, "Man, he can sing and dance."

Well, if this video of Watson rapping with fellow golfers Ben Crane, Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan is any indication, the Biebs is clearly not the only one with some sweet moves.

Check out our full interview with Watson on E! News tonight at 7 and 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.
