Andy Murray’s untucked shirt mishap at Wentworth – almost as scandalous as Patrick Reed’s rules “interpretations”! As you all saw, while Wentworth is home to the esteemed BMW PGA Championship, even its hallowed grounds weren’t immune to a sartorial slip up.
Our intel says Murray was one of the few players sporting an untucked polo – a major faux pas for any golfer, let alone on one of the European Tour’s most visible stages. While Andy’s competitive days are behind him in tennis, it seems some habits die hard. Maybe all those years of loose-fitting tennis shirts had him forgetting golf’s strict shirt-tucking policy.
A source told me they spotted the fashion violation mid-round, and our boy spent the back 9 frantically trying to keep it tucked. I just hope those distractions didn’t cost him any strokes!
While Andy may have escaped the Twitter wrath like J.J. Spaun did from the untucked police last season, make no mistake – golf traditionalists were surely shaking their heads. But given the star-studded celeb atmosphere at Wentworth, I’d say Murray caught a lucky break.
With cricket star James Anderson and Spiderman himself Tom Holland there, I’m sure all eyes weren’t solely on Andy’s shirt tail like they would’ve been had he pulled this at Augusta. Still, playing to a seven handicap, our boy is no slouch. Can’t blame him for having the yips under that pro-am pressure though – even the greats get the shakes sometimes.
Lucky for Murray, Robert MacIntyre was on hand to help calm the nerves. I overheard young Robert schooling him on the etiquette do’s and don’ts over pints after their round.
