Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson found themselves the butt of a cruel joke this week in Abu Dhabi, as European Tour golf devised a mischievous prank to bring them face-to-face with the 'awkward reporter.'
Fowler, Stenson and a whole host of other star names of the sport including Lee Westwood
and Dustin Johnson were duped by the European Tour and fooled hook, line, and sinker into believing they were having a real interview - only to be embarrassed to the extreme.
Behind the chaos was cheeky duo Nicolas Colsaerts and Chris Wood, who both fed information to the awkward reporter via a headset, instructing the actor on how best to stitch up their counterparts.
The first victim up, Rickie Fowler, soon found himself subject to the longest sound-check in history.
Standing patiently waiting for interview, Fowler was left for an agonizing period of time as the awkward reporter counted down for a completely fabricated microphone check, before making the bemused Fowler repeat the word 'ketchup' several times.
