It’s smooth sailing for Billy-Ho, Puma’s thoughtful kicks, DJ is Aces yet again, JT feeds the wolf, and Ryo’s heist-gone-wrong. GolfThreads breaks down the best and worst looks from Thursday at LACC.
Fashion Dimes
Keith Mitchell (Sid Mashburn & FootJoy)
The Vegas odds that Keith Mitchell would be the first “Dime” were something like -10000. These light blue linen trousers are simply elegant. I recently purchased a similar belt and now I need to add a pair of these tabbed-front, wide-cuff pants to wear it with!
Abraham Ancer (Black Quail & FootJoy)
Over the past few years, FootJoy has dominated the headlines with their limited-edition shoe (and apparel) drops for each major. This time they celebrate the past 100 years with a reboot of an iconic shoe style that was laced up by Johnny Miller when he won the U.S. Open 50 years ago. I thought Abraham wore them best.
Max Homa (FootJoy)
Don’t sleep on the apparel from the FootJoy Centennial Collection! This Lisle Polo with its 4-button placket has a vintage vibe with a modern twist that will keep it in style for at least another 100 years.
Dustin Johnson (Extracurricular & FootJoy)
Talk about timeless style! Dustin Johnson always looks “Aces.”
Billy Horschel (Ralph Lauren Golf & FootJoy)
O Captain! My Captain! Billy-Ho owns these sailboat-print trousers. No one, and I mean no one, does pattern-pants better than Skipper Billy.
Wyndham Clark (Municipal & FootJoy)
Clearly, Wyndham Clark has a better eye for fashion than I do. I never would have picked out this Municipal Salmon Tech Camo Polo, but when I saw him wear it with these grey slacks, I loved it! There is a reason he earned a Threadie!
Justin Thomas (Greyson Clothiers & FootJoy)
These Glasseye Pink Montauk Trousers are sophisticatedly bold! And the patent leather on the heel of the FJ x Todd Snyder Premiere Series feeds the black “wolf” polo nicely, wouldn’t you say?
Rickie Fowler (Puma Golf)
Puma did a dynamite job on the custom kicks for their players. They partnered with seven artists to create incredibly thoughtful and creative hand-painted shoes for the U.S. Open. Each pair was unique to reflect the players’ individual inspiration for the week.
Kurt Kitayama (Chervo & Boxto Golf)
I just love the center stripe on this Chervo polo, especially on the backswing. It makes for a really cool visual that screams “power” and “grace.”
Joaquín Niemann (Adidas Golf)
Adidas calls this color, Arctic Night. I call it a “Dime.”
Fashion Crimes
Adam Schenk
This busy belt and shirt combination is a no-go for me, bro. Surprisingly, Adam makes this mistake quite often.
Tyrell Hatton
Nope.
Viktor Hovland
Nuh-uh.
Andrew Putnam
This pains me. It really does because Andrew Putnam is a genuinely nice guy. But this fit ain’t so nice.
David Horsey
I cannot tell if this polo is inspired by Jackson Pollock’s “splatter art” or a distant galaxy. Regardless, I wish this shirt would go far, far away.
Ryo Ishikawa
Typically, Ryo is a standout. However, it looks like he broke into Adam Scott’s closet and stepped on a box of melted red, white, and blue popsicles as he high-tailed it out of there.
