Notorious golf tournament derailed as streaker dances with flag, dives into pond before being arrested

The 16th hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open just got even rowdier.

A streaker ran across the notorious par 3 at TPC Scottsdale that is surrounded by a stadium which holds more than 17,000 rabid fans.

During Friday’s play, a man dressed in just his underwear rushed the green and streaked across the course.

He later appeared to be apprehended by police.

The streaker ran across the green with his arms up and did a pole dance with the flag stick before being approached by security.

The attendee had “19th hole” written on his back – which could be a reference to another streaker at The Open Championship at St. Andrews back in 1995.

The man outmanoeuvred an official before belly-flopping into a nearby pond.

AZSports later tweeted a picture of the streaker in cuffs.

The Phoenix Open will finish on Sunday. Scottie Scheffler, who won the tournament last year, is on top at 10 under, two strokes ahead of Adam Hadwin and Jon Rahm.
