Pants are overrated. On Thursday during the first round of European Tour’s Trophee Hassan II in Morocco, James Heath shed his trousers after finding the hazard on his tee shot on the par-3 17th. Hey, you got to do what you got to do, right? While the look is questionable at best, the fact he got the ball on the green and two-putted for bogey. Unfortunately, he shot a 4-over par 77.

After blowing a drive deep into the tree to the right, he nailed another tree on his second.
