US rain suits all the talk in Wales...and not for the good

Throwback uniforms are all the rage in sports, and golf isn't immune. This weekend's Ryder Cup outfits for the American squad feature "classic" golf looks, including purple cashmere sweaters and gray striped trousers, quarter-zip sweaters and red, white and blue belts.

But Friday's deluge forced the Americans into their rain gear, which unfortunately has them looking like a prison work detail, or maybe like orderlies at a hospital. The kicker is that apparently the rainwear absorbs too much water, according to the Guardian's web site earlier this morning, and PGA of America officials bought new gear for the players at a merchandise tent.
