Wendy Pellegrino, of Downers Grove, anchor of Comcast's Golf Chicago TV, sported colorful Loudmouth brand pants, similar to those worn by actor Bill Murray Tuesday. Pellegrino, who also wore orange-framed eyeglasses, said she owns six pairs of the bright patterned pants and plans to wear a different one every day of the Ryder Cup. "You have no idea how much I've been stopped. People want their picture taken with me," she said. "They'll say, 'Oh my God, you look awesome!'"

Sandee Plescia, of St. Charles, looks put together in head-to-toe golf gear she bought during her annual trips to the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga. Her black-and-white ensemble matched from her visor down to her golf shoes, with most items bearing the tiny Masters logo. "I head straight to the pro shop when we go to the Masters," she said, laughing. "I think I spend more time there than on the golf course."

Scott McCreadie, left, and Mike Brown, of Carnoustie, Scotland, wore a dressed down version of the traditional Scottish outfit, pairing their kilts, wool socks and sporran (a type of kilt purse) with T-shirts. They wore kilts to show support for Team Europe's Scottish golfer Paul Lawrie. "The idea is to look European straight off," Brown said. "There's no question who we're routing for."
