Henrik Stenson shows up at Sergio Garcia's charity event a day after winning Open
This is one of many reasons so many fellow players love Henrik Stenson
How does one celebrate one's first Open Championship victory? If you're Henrik Stenson, you take a flight to Switzerland to hang with Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott at Garcia's charity event. This is literally the day after Stenson hoisted the claret jug high over his head at Royal Troon in one of the greatest performances in major history.
It's becoming pretty easy to see why Stenson is so beloved in pro golf. He's also a prankster, which Phil Mickelson pointed out last week.
"Henrik's got a great sense of humor, and he's a good prankster," said Mickelson. "He's pulled some good practical jokes and we've had some good laughs over the years."
Stenson was up to his old ways as he played with Rafael Cabrera-Bello's neck while Garcia was chatting into the camera. Major champion winner and Cabrera-Bello neck-tickler. What a guy.

And friend of the blog Adam Sarson got in a sick (but true) burn at the expense of the IOC.
Sergio got a better field than Rio. https://t.co/buJiGVoot1
