lee played golf in pants for almost the last 30 years on tour. you would think it wouldn’t be that big of a deal for 4 rounds 🤣
I never did understand the rule of wearing a long pants, They played some really hot tournaments. Just like I don't understand why I have to wear a colored shirt at my local municipal golf course. They make you wear collard shirts but the same people with collard shirts don't fix divits don't fix ball marks. Putting a colored shirt on doesn't mean you have respect or class
