Find us a person who doesn’t like Henrik Stenson. Go ahead, we’ll wait.
The big Swede is one of golf’s greatest characters – possessing all of Phil’s charm with none of the ego and all of Poulter’s wit with none of the, um, Poulter-ness. Whether taking shots at himself on Instagram, stripping down to his Fruit of the Looms for a PG-13 recovery shot, or out-duelling Lefty in one of the great final rounds in Open history, Stenson has done it all with a smile on face.
But in case you needed more proof that Stenson is one of golf’s last true Good Guys, the Iceman delivered overnight, taking a break from his opening round at the Saudi International to fetch a young spectator’s soccer ball out of the literal ocean.

Normally when you’re on a beach at professional golf tournament it’s a bad sign, but in this case Stenson was just being his good-samaritan self. Never one to a let good gag go to waste, however, Stenson also took the moment to flash his soccer skills, putting on an impromptu juggling exhibition for the Al Murooj gallery. Ronaldo he ain’t, but still not too shabby, especially for a golf guy from a hockey country.
