Good guy Stenson back in action
Newly-crowned Open champion Henrik Stenson wasn't about to let a bit of fatigue stop him from honouring his commitment to Sergio Garcia's charity event.
The Swede just put together one of the best final rounds in the history of major championships and has been talking about it to the media ever since, but still hopped on a plane on Monday morning to join a host of his fellow professionals in Switzerland for the 'Sergio and Friends' fundraising event.
That being said, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in the Swiss Alps isn't exactly one of the worst places to be in the summertime.
Stenson joined Garcia, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler, Zach Johnson, Luke Donald, Justin Thomas, Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Lee Westwood and David Feherty for the charity fundraiser, co-hosted by the The Sergio Garcia Foundation and the Children's Cancer Foundation.
David Feherty captured this shot of Stenson traveling with some very special luggage:
