(Photos the sole property of The Associated Press and Getty Images)It was great to see Ryuji Imada around the top of the leaderboard at Torrey Pines all week... Rooj has been one of the sharpest dressers on Tour, week in and week out, for several years and, despite a Sunday slip, it appears his game is back in form...
What sets Imada apart, you ask? The man keeps it clean and simple. His trousers fit slimmer than your average pro's, his knits trimmer and he knows how to balance the use of powerful pieces/colors to create a subtle statement. See: If you wear Caribbean blue slacks, make sure the rest of your look is conservative...
Cutter & Buck is clearly making him custom sweaters - or he's wearing someone else and C&B is stamping them - because those things fit like a bag off the rack and Rooj is lookin' crisp out there. Check the photo of him in black - the sleeve is just perfect. I wasn't in love with the ribbing/body mapping on the blue number he was sporting yesterday, but the whole package is damn near perfect. If you're looking for a pro to emulate in terms of dress, look no further than this KC stalwart.
Welcome back, Ryuji!
