Henrik Stenson Wears Bjorn Borgs Pants

Henrik Stenson stripped off down to his startling white Bjorn Borg pants today in order to take a shot in the mud at the 3rd hole during the first round of the World Golf Championships-CA Championship at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami. It was suggested on the radio show that alerted me to this disturbing news, that Henrik had been working out and wanted to show off his muscles or Henrik was a bit obsessive compulsive in not wanting to get his clean clothes dirty.

Of course it is far simpler than that- Henrik is Swedish, just like his pants designer Bjorn. I wondered what part of being world tennis number 1 qualified Bjorn for his role as mens underwear designer, but all was soon made clear. The official website says the new range, called Grand Slam, is inspired by Bjorn Borgs early career in that its design is clean and simple.There is a special offer on at the moment-a Bjorn Borg head band will thrown in with the first order.Someone got paid for that idea.

In defence of Heinriks strip he said to Sky News "I felt that I would definitely save a shot by actually playing the ball. If you are saving a shot, that has to be worth taking your shirt and trousers off"
