Tennis great Andy Murray played the BMW Championship Pro-Am at one of the country’s most prestigious golf courses – though supposedly forgot one of the sport’s golden rules.
The three-time Grand Slam tennis champ is not the first to fall foul of the long list of guidelines. However, he was one of the only players at the event sporting an untucked shirt. It’s customary for men to tuck their shirts in, and a few professionals who haven’t done so have faced backlash from certain super-strict fans, reports the Express.
American star J.J. Spaun felt the wrath of some while playing with an untucked shirt at the Sentry Tournament of Champions last year, with a mob of traditionalists on social media angered at a pro player failing to adhere to one of the game’s long-standing rules. Murray is unlikely to face as much scrutiny for his slip-up at Wentworth, where celebrities competed alongside one another in front of the thousands who lined the course to catch a glimpse. Cricket legend James Anderson and Hollywood actor Tom Holland were among the other big names to turn out.
