Henrik Stenson Underwear Video Flashback

 

Swedish golfer Henrik Stenson first made himself well known for not winning The Players Championship but insead heput himself in a crazy spot at the CA Championship when his tee shot on the third hole went into the mud.

Henrik knew he needed to step into the water to save a shot, but he also knew that if when did it, his clothes would be soaking wet and dirty for the next 15 holes.  So he did the only thing a crazy golfer would do: He took off all his clothes except his underwear and the glove on his left hand, and he stepped in and took the shot.

Stenson explained his decision afterward:

“If you are saving a shot, that has to be worth taking your shirt and trousers,” Stenson said. “I’m sure I’ll hear a few comments and once the pictures get out, I’ll hear a few more, no doubt. I’ll probably take that to my grave with me. I don’t think I scared too many spectators off the course, hopefully.”

Stenson said that he did it “For the love of the game, and for the fans.”
