re: Coolest Pro athlete you have met

Henrik Stenson.
I was watching him and his group practice on the Tuesday before the 2015 Open at St. Andrews. He bombed a 3/4 iron off the tee and I couldn't follow the flight of the ball. I just said out loud "where did that go?" and he turned around and told me I better get my glasses adjusted. We all laughed and I told him to wait until he gets to be my age and see how that works out for him.

On the same hole he and his group were walking down the fairway and he was the only one of his group to walk the ropes and sign autographs for everyone. He held up his group he was signing so many autographs.

The best part of the story is I told our hostess at our B&B later that night about my interaction with Stenson. She said he and his family stayed with her during a previous Open at St. Andrews and that "he was a very nice young man". I just had to laugh....small world...
