My parents went to Sawgrass and all I got was this @#$&in' t-shirt...

A few quick sartorial observations from the "5th Major":

-Henrik Stenson is the KC's type of Players Champ. Not only is Stenson always a crisp and classic dresser (he wears white as well as anyone out there, even Camilo) but we just can't forget how he, rather than muddying his well-chosen ensemble, opted to have the entire world see him in his skivvies. This is the mark of a true clothing lover and reserves him a special spot in the heart of the KC team. Congratulations on a fantastic final round Henrik. Want a cut of pant to emulate? Go with Stenson's. They're always perfect.  

-Camilo has been doing alot of solids recently, but in 3 of 4 rounds at Sawgrass, he wore different patterned and striped polos from JL's summer collection. (stripe, argyle, drip) I liked the striped polo on Day 1 the best, I actually saw this on a table downstairs at the Lindeberg store in NYC last week and made a mental note, as the shirt is really a bit different from what we've been getting from JL and I liked the sophistication of the multi-colored striped styling.

-Jonathan Byrd got decent airtime this weekend. I know it's hard to appear anything but iconic in Polo Golf, but I was especially pleased with how Byrd paired looks this week. The way a RL crisp cotton trouser hits a black or brown saddle FJ Classic DP - pure art. 

-Poulter's 2nd place finish kept him in the spotlight. Tim Rosaforte mentioned that Poulter packed 8 white golf shirts for the week, because of the 100 plus degree heat. Are the warm temperatures kryptonite to golf's loud trouser/bright color-sporting Superman?

Loved Ben's shirt PT3. Not sure when he switched to RLX, but great change. The green shirt both he and Luke wore was a personal favorite. Last I knew he was wearing pants from Tony Q'aja.
