Holy Mistaken Golf Balls, Batman!

Henrik Stenson of Sweden plays a shot out of muddy terrain near a water hazard on the third hole Thursday at the WGC-CA Championship. Stenson, who hadn't packed rain gear, stripped down to his skivvies to avoid taking a penalty and playing the rest of the round in wet clothes. He salvaged a bogey on the hole and finished at 3-under 69.

SWIVEL HIPS SAYS:

This is THE strangest thing I have ever seen in golf. You think golf, of all sports, would have some kind of rule against players stripping down to their underwear, wouldn’t you? It has a rule for everything else.

I wonder what would have happened if this was on the LPGA tour? Would they let Natalie Gulbis strip down to her undies to play a shot out of the mud? I bet not. Actually, I'd like to see that . . . but I digress. What do you suppose would have happened if Henrik had taken his ‘shorts’ off, too? . . . Two minutes for playing with the wrong . . . oh, never mind!
