The golfer showcased his cool outlook by adding a sunglass and a pair of brown boots. The outfit of the golfer received all different kinds of responses from fans.

While some liked it, some just bluntly mocked him for carrying things that had logos from his sponsoring brands. However, the son of Dallas, Texas, mostly got positive comments on his special day.
