Pic: Golfer Henrik Stenson Strips for Hole

Swede Henrik Stenson had taken 69 shots [of course] in the opening round of the CA Championship before his ball wound up in the mud. It was after his 69 that he stripped down to his boxers in order to avoid getting his clothes wet and sticky.

"Just the way God created me," Stenson said.

"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."

At least it wasn't Andre Smith.
