Memo to the PGA: Insist Players Keep Their Clothes On

Good grief. So this guy's ball winds up in the mud. That means he has to strip down to his tighty whiteys to take a shot?

Golfer Henrik Stenson created a stir yesterday when he stripped down to his underwear to play his way out of trouble during the opening round of the WGC-CA Championship.

Stenson hit a wild drive at the third hole, the 12th of his round, on the Blue Monster course in Florida, landing on mud in a water hazard.

With seven holes still to complete and the world number seven believing he had a good enough lie to hit out, the Swede opted to shed his clothes and play.

He got the ball out and carded a bogey five on the way to an opening round of 69, four strokes behind the clubhouse lead.

Let us be thankful it wasn't John Daly.

Of course we'd have no such problem if LPGA golfers showed up on the course looking like this.
