The above tableau presents just a few of the creative color combinations worn by Japan's phenomenal young star, Ryo Ishikawa.
The captivating colors of Ryo... are pure and bold. And they leave no doubt about the shy golfer's underlying confidence. Though never pompous or haughty, the soft spoken seventeen year old doesn't hesitate to take chances with his strong style statements.
When the superlative Shane Bacon asked me to weigh in on "golf's most fashionable in 2009" for a series on the best of 2009 at Fanhouse, I immediately thought of the one they call "the Bashful Prince".
Ryo's English is still very limited, but as the video below illustrates he is attempting to learn... and in the meantime, not afraid to try. And if you're puzzling over the pronunciation of his name, Ryo shows you how it's done.
Ryo has wonderful style. I love that he takes chances with fashion, but with great confidence.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Camilo and Adam would also be at the top of the list for me.
Could you imagine if all 156 golfers every week dressed like Ryo? Pretty neat, huh??
ReplyDeleteI hope he's gay because if he's not someone's forcing him to wear gay clothes.
ReplyDeleteIf those are gay clothes... I wish more players would be forced to wear gay clothes.:)))
ReplyDeleteRyo is Fantastic!!!!
He's so cute! He looks like a little doll. I hope he's got parents who understand the pressure he must be under.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog...keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteRyo Ishikawa, who has achieved so much in such a short period of time, is indeed known in Japan with a moniker "The Bashful Prince".
ReplyDeleteHowever, considering what he has done --he has already won four tournaments in Japan Tour, and even though he failed to make a cut in The Open, neither did Tiger Woods.-- he is clearly confident of himself, and he deserves to be so. And few 18-year old high school students in Japan can speak English as well as Ryo.
As one of Japanese golf fans, I sincerely hope that Ryo Ishikawa will put on a great performance at The President's Cup.
i love the way he dressed. How can a person gets so good taste so young. Some colors are brave, but whatever on him, just work.
