Eye-Opening Garb

As with the World Series, Dublin seems to attract a lot of eccentric and flamboyant players to the Irish Open, many of whom frequently forget to pack their dress sense in the mad rush to the airport.

Although I've seen a number of dazzling shirts - including Surinder Sunar's purple with white flowers number - perhaps the most eye-opening garb is that adorned by Gerald David. Known as 'Skullman' on the UK circuit, David is wearing the pinkest outfit (including cap) I've ever seen. We certainly won't miss him leaving the room!

Meanwhile, I think Dario Minieri might be the only player in the room wearing a woolly hat, despite the rest of the players sweating like marathon runners from the heat.
