(UPDATED) SIGHTING: Roddick in Ray Bans and coveralls
Yes, that is Andy Roddick behind the Ray Ban Caravans and, no, he's not trying to fool the stalkeratti. The former top baller caddied for Zach Johnson today during the Par 3 Contest ahead of the 75th Masters at Augusta National.
"My hand's shaking...I can barely put the tee in," he said before he hit for Zach on the 9th hole. Apparently, A-Rod wasn't feeling so confident on this grass. But he did see a similarity between Augusta and the hallowed grounds of the All England Club. "The parallel is definitely Wimbledon. There’s a pride with people just being in the venue.”
I'm kinda loving the whole look including the signature Augusta coveralls. It fits him. I have no idea what that means but it does.
UPDATE: Here's video. He should stick to tennis. Just sayin'.

PHOTO OP: Pick your spots
Here's Rafael Nadal with Sergio Garcia doing what he does best (fine, one of the things) during a pro - am at the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo in Castellon de la Plana, Spain.
I must say I'm loving these khakis on him, though they're probably not too happy being eaten up by his infamous ass-ets.
More pics after the jump (click the headline.)

PHOTO OP: Rafa in green hits the green for pro-am Castello Masters Costa Azahar
Like any 22-year old who just grabbed the year-end no. 1 ranking (you know those guys) Rafael Nadal, working a pale green Nike polo and matching golf shoes, took time out of his incredibly intense schedule to compete in the pro-am of the Castello Masters Costa Azahar at the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo in Castello, Spain.
He was joined by Spanish golfer (and Martina Hingis ex) Sergio Garcia, who's competing in the pro tourney, and the country's top bull fighter Enrique Ponce.
The sexy Spaniard was asked to compare tennis + golf during this year's Indian Wells tourney:Difficult to compare, no? But I always say the same. Mentally I think both are very tough, because in golf you can't have any mistake. But in golf you play very good shot you are going go birdie, no?
In tennis you do very good shot and you can lose the point. So I think on golf you play against yourself. In tennis you play little bit against yourself, but especially against opponent, so that's difficult to compare for that reason. I prefer play golf, no, because all the time depends on you, no?
And what are Rafa's strengths in golf?
Depends at the moment. Sometimes the drive. Sometimes the irons.Something tells me if he puts his mind to it, he might do alright in this sport too...

SIGHTING: Boris Becker brushes up on golf game
Tennis champion Boris Becker broke away from gorgeous girlfriend Sharlely Kersenberg long enough to participate in the pro - am of The Mercedes-Benz Championship at The Gut Larchenhof Golf Club in Pulheim, near Cologne, Germany.
We can't tell from these photos how Boris' golf game is these days, but his fashion game is out of control. We much prefer the "dapper" Boris from The Laureus Charity Gala this past summer.
