Who’s the best dressed at Oakmont?

Give Jordan credit for amping up his wardrobe by introducing some new colours and patterns. Thursday’s opener is his go-to look, but Friday steps it up considerably. The shirt will look great on hi-def monitors. Saturday is once again standard Spieth, yet Sunday’s shirt once again has some real pop. Overall, a solid step forward.

This just might be the best four-day Major line-up we’re seen from McIlroy. It’s simple, clean and clear. The monochromatic look really works well, especially with his belt colours coordinating with the pants and the strong engineered colour blocs. The Sunday stripes are great, and wearing the blade collar every day helps marry Rory to this look.

You can learn a lot from Fowler’s Puma script. The key lesson: Have a base colour. In this case, it’s blue, which enables Rickie to rotate styles and pack accessories that coordinate accordingly. (Orange fans need not worry, though, come Sunday!) The engineered stripe for Thursday looks to have the most colour impact. Friday’s shirt, with contrast placket and collar, is bound to get plenty of TV exposure. Fowler is scheduled to wear Puma’s six-pocket pant on three of the four days at Oakmont, which will also help define this clean casual look. (It has, in addition to a small coin pocket, a spot for your scorecard.) Notice the fit on Rickie’s wardrobe, as it is textbook. And also notice: No joggers this week.

Watson covers all the trend bases with his Oakmont wardrobe. The engineered camo-striped polos are consistent with Oakley’s DNA. It’s timely and will read well on TV. The solid-grey selection is a bit conservative for me, but the overall look works.

Oosthuizen’s scripting covers many of the current trends: colour blocs, engineered stripes, contrast plackets and collars. Each shirt shares the Sensorcool fabric, which has all of the correct bells and whistles as well: moisture control, crease resistant, UV protection, etc. Purple is a colour that Ping should use on an ongoing basis with Oosthuizen as it suits him well.

Devereux’s design director, Robert Brunner, has outlined predictably a red, white and blue motif for Lee. The shirts are from the company’s Americana Collection and are unique in that they have no side seams. This enables Lee to swing freely, especially if he needs to escape the thick rough at Oakmont. Saturday’s selection is my favourite with the clean, bold navy-and-red stripe across the chest.

DJ is right on trend with colour in the placket and the use of tipping around the collar. The Sunday shirt is by far the best and strongest look of the bunch. Dustin is the perfect model, and he makes these selections look clean and strong.
