While Robert Allenby and his pencil putting grip came up just short this weekend at TPC, and his Sunday pink tradition received special attention on Mother's Day.

But what's up with that duck? Allenby's driver headcover is a giant yellow duck, and the brightly colored fowl is pinned to the left side of his visor. 

Turns out that Leuk (short for Leukemia) The Duck is the mascot for a chartiable foundation Allenby has supported for the past 17 years.

As brought to my attention by @WalkingGolfer, it looks very much like the normally flawless Luke Donald and Polo RLX Golf had a color matching issue on Saturday, as Luke appears to clash black color blocking in his polo with navy blue trousers.

Either the camera lenses are lying, it's a very dark navy, or RLX or Luke made a scripting error. Perhaps it's time to go with a Garanimals style tag system.

You can look at me and I'll pretend to look at you, ok?

So what's up with Tiger Woods and the continued use of the sunglasses?

Sunglasses make some guys look cool, but make Tiger look like a man who has something to hide - which of course he does / did. It's high time for Tiger to ditch the awkward looking shades and start making real eye contact with real human beings.

Tiger should either wear the sunglasses all the time, or not at all. But until he can start looking people in the eye (which may be never), his game will remain as suspect as past.

Tiger's traditional Sunday Red was mercifully given a rest after his withdrawal due to a neck injury, it was nice to see Tiger wearing trousers with a v-slit on Saturday. Despite the change, a trouser that fits seems to be beyond Tiger's grasp.

Borrowing a tradition from the Masters, TPC has a tradition of having the defending champion stick around for the trophy presentation. Chapeau Noir wonders if 2009 champ Henrik Stenson took it upon himself to wear a jacket out of the Hugo Boss Al Czervik collection, or if Hugo Boss put him up to it.

Regardless, the red elbow patches took this selection from the sublime to the ridiculous. At least Stenson had the good sense to pair the outlandish jacket with a crisp white shirt, and (gasp!) denim trousers, pants, jeans.

Come to think of it, Stenson has take his game to the next level, despite the jacket.

The last word on Stenson's jacket? Good from far, but far from good. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images North America)
