The Hero Women’s Indian Open is currently underway at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram. And, among the players duking it out on the field for the prize money of $400,000 is none other than Iturrioz who is accompanied by her caddie Piti Martinez Bernal.

Along with carrying the bags for the Spanish golfer, Bernal was spotted wearing a distinct style of headwear. Well, curious? The looper was dressed in colorful attire with a sombrero on her head, something that set her apart from the rest of the people present much like Woods during his first US Amateur win at TPC Sawgrass in 1994.

However, this wasn’t the first time the Spaniard was spotted wearing the eye-catching headgear. The caddie also wore the same while carrying the bags for Iturrioz during the Aramco Team Series Hong Kong where she finished T4. One thing is for sure, the Spanish duo did manage to turn a lot of heads toward themselves, one owing to her skills and the other due to her quirky style.

You might be wondering how she managed to give competition to Tiger Woods when he was just a teenager. Well, the Hall of Famer was also spotted sporting a similar fashion during his famous amateur days.

However, if one were to look back at the first of his three championship wins, the world would be able to witness a peculiar young athlete donning a bizarre hat.

Wearing a striped shirt along with a large straw hat, Woods was spotted letting out a fist bump after scoring a birdie on the iconic par-3 of THE PLAYERS Stadium Course. As the one that wore the same, he was seen regretting the decision as the GOAT said, “The straw hat, no, I’m not bringing that back,” when quizzed on it later on. Well, one can’t help but wonder if Bernal too would regret wearing the straw hat later on in her life!
