Streaker goes wild at Waste Management Phoenix Open before being nabbed by police

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 outmaneuvered an official before belly-flopping into a nearby pond. AZSports later tweeted a picture of the streaker in cuffs.
