Pro golfer strips down to his underwear to hit shot from a pond

Sometimes making a golf shot means you have to take off your pants.

via PGA Tour

It’s fairly common to see a PGA Tour pro take off his shoes and socks to wade into a couple inches of water to avoid a penalty stroke. De-pantsing to jump into a thigh-high pond, however, is much more rare.

So we’ll give Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano credit for his commitment here.

Given his lie, you either try to pull the shot off left-handed with the back of your club, which we’ve seen Rickie Fowler do pretty well in the past. Or you just say “screw it,” get in the water, and take a waist-high baseball swing.

The play worked out pretty well and GFC didn’t embarrass himself in any memorable way ... i.e. the Woody Austin.
