Who is Henrik Stenson and why is he golfing in his undies?

I was working out at the gym on Friday when a couple of talking heads on a sports show called Pardon The Interruption started yammering on while they showed pictures of a man golfing in his underwear. Now I could not care less about golf, but this was a stoy I needed to know about! 

Turns out Henrik Stenson is a professional golfer from Sweden who played last week in the World Golf Championships-CA Championship in Miami, Florida. Poor Henrik hit a bad shot into the mud at the third hole which wasn't going to help him be the next Tiger Woods. Turns out Henrik is not only a pro golfer, but a golfer with expensive taste in golfing attire that he wasn't about to trash just to win a game.

So Henrik stripped down to his undies and took the shot. When asked later about his actions, Stenson said it was no big deal because it was "Just the way God created me."

There are so many puns I could make here, but I'll resist. Instead I'll just suggest that the PGA consider instituting some Strip Golf tournaments or events played entirely in underwear. Something tells me ratings would rise considerably! BTW, Henrik is married and has one child.
