Charl Schwartzel looked pretty fashionable at the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday when he wore a bright green blazer.
If Schwartzel had browsed Glamour.com, he would have realized that one of Spring 2011's most wearable trends is bold-colored, '60s inspired coats.
Though it's doubtful the South African had time to peruse the latest runway looks in between time on the green, in addition to winning the 75th Annual Masters Tournament, Schwartzel won some major style points with his blazer.
The green jacket, awarded to the Masters Tournament Champion each year, has to be one of the most unique trophies in the sports world-- it's much cooler than a hunk of metal.
Last year, during the Shackelford household's annual spring cleaning, my mother decided it was time to throw out some of the dusty, plastic trophies my sisters and I had accumulated over the years.
Sorting through the "hardware," we discovered basketball players with broken arms, plaques embroidered with "Schackelford" instead of "Shackelford," seventh place ribbons from summer swim team, participation trophies from youth soccer, and even a pair of bobble head tigers on pedestals, whose origin was unknown.
Needless to say we scrapped all of these items with little hesitation.
