LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The pertinent statistics from Chris Wood's first-round 66 at the PGA Championship:
Five birdies, no bogeys, four pairs of pants.
Yes, four pairs of pants.
The Englishman had a round to remember for all the right and wrong reasons. On the 11th green at Valhalla Golf Club Thursday – his second hole of the day – Wood bent down to read a putt and felt the seam of his gray trousers rip straight down the seat. And not a small rip.
"Quite a big hole," he said.
Wood steadied himself long enough to make the putt, then went to the 12th tee in a most uncomfortable predicament: He was teeing off with his rear end facing straight toward the gallery. What did he hear from the fans?
"Oh, can you imagine?" he said. "I'm 6-foot-6 with a massive hole in my trousers in America. …It's the most embarrassed I've ever been on the golf course."
After teeing off on 12, Wood explained his predicament to a marshal, borrowed a pair of rain pants from playing partner Johan Kok and darted into a nearby portable toilet to change. Unfortunately, Kok is quite a bit shorter than the towering Wood, so it was time to change into another pair of borrowed rain pants behind a golf channel tower near the 13th fairway. Wood sweated it out in the humid Kentucky afternoon in those rain pants until the 17th hole, when his manager, Stuart Cage, materialized with yet another pair of pants.

Just let er rip.
Obama wants to order a pair for every day, trap doors are a pain. He already wears his underwear backwards.
The dude is super skinny - but insists on wearing clothes even skinnier. He’s so, well, so “euro”
I remember seeing Eddie Money in concert here in Fla. back in the 80s. He ripped his pants at about the 2nd song and didn’t realize it for a bit. At one point the lights went down and then back up again after about 30 seconds, he walked to the microphone with a smile and told the pretty much sellout crowd “you guys don’t tell anyone I ripped my jeans ok?” That was hilarious........He went on to finish the concert without changing. Now thats entertainment! lol
Four...Fore?
I guess he had a hole in one.
..
Ok, someone had to say it! just leave me alone!
“Ok, someone had to say it! just leave me alone!”

No one had any duct tape?
He needs to replace that divot.
Dude needs some Pajama Jeans for Men.
This is NOT good PR for the manufacturer of the pants.
The seam looks realy badly sewn, probably sewn in china or vietnam or somewhere...
I could have sewn it better with my el-cheapo sewing machine...
Maybe he should have worn a kilt. Golf is a Scottish invention, after all.
If one would wear pant that are appropriately sized, this doesn’t happen.
And lets just say his pants WERE the right size - then the manufacturer should be on his personal blacklist for making garbage...
At least you didn’t say “METRO”....LOL
He had to change his pants because he got a hole in one.
