Ludvig’s OG fit, J-Day continues his reign as golf’s style provocateur, DJ flexes in custom kicks, Min Woo levitates in a Lulu mock, and more. Tour Editor Michael Ruuska breaks down the best and worst looks from Thursday at Oakmont.
Fashion Dimes
Ludvig Åberg (adidas Golf)
Adidas nailed it with the Originals Golf Collection. The pièce de résistance is the Originals Golf Leather Belt. Check out the decorative “golf kiltie” detailing.
Min Woo Lee (Lululemon & FootJoy)
Chef Woozy’ll make ya (Jump, jump).
Michael La Sasso (Johnnie-O & Nike Golf)
My son is eighteen and this is how he’d style himself on the course: unbuttoned polo, gold chain, slick kicks, and a pair of khakis to keep it proper. Respect.
Alistair Docherty (Barstool Golf & FootJoy)
Keeping with the kids…Barstool bros bringing the heat with this fit.
Yuta Sugiura (Tommy Hilfiger & FootJoy)
Tommy Hilfiger at the U.S. Open? Yeah, that works.
Gary Woodland (Puma Golf)
Gary Woodland and the Volition America Collection by Puma Golf is pure class.
Jason Day (Malbon & PAYNTR)
I admit it, I get excited to see what Jason Day, Malbon, and PAYNTR are cooking up next. There seem to be two camps when it comes to J-Day and his style; “love it” and “hate it.” I am firmly entrenched in the former. ❤
Viktor Hovland (J.Lindeberg)
Viktor looked good! Please note that he is wearing a white belt and there is no hate from this guy. I am softening my stance on the white belt. Assuming it is worn correctly. Hovland nailed it with the lighter colored trousers. (Read on for some examples of how not to wear a white belt).
Adam Scott (Uniqlo & FootJoy)
Adam Scott’s style speaks to me these days. Can’t put my finger on it but I know I like it. He makes this blade collar polo look suitable for the boardroom and that is not an easy task.
Thomas Detry (Hugo Boss & G/FORE)
We saw quite a few zipper placket polo’s at Oakmont. This one was my favorite. The tipped detailing on the collar is next level.
Justin Thomas (Greyson Clothiers & FootJoy)
JT is back to being a regular in the Dimes category. One little adjustment to the length of his trousers made all the difference in the world.
Dustin Johnson (Extracurricular & Jordan Golf)
It’s gotta be the shoes! DJ is rocking a pair of custom Jordan x Travis Scott shoes to honor his first major win at Oakmont in 2016. Sick.
Colin Morikawa (adidas Golf)
Really digging this look for Morikawa. In fact, I am digging this look for me, too!
Fashion Crimes
Aaron Rai
Example number one of how not to wear a white belt. A white belt with an all black outfit? Hard pass.
Brady Calkins
And in case you need another example.
Riki Kawamoto
I am quite certain that my aforementioned eighteen-year-old son had this pajama top. When he was five!
Robert MacIntyre
One last tip to wrap up Day 1 of the U.S. Open. Ill-fitting pants look sloppy.
