Aphibarnrat: Busy schedule supports shoe, watch spending

Many golf fans may not know the name Kiradech Aphibarnrat, but perhaps that should change.

The burly Thai shot a 6-under 66 in the opening round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, a score that left him tied for second and two shots behind leader Henrik Stenson. After the round, Aphibarnrat chatted with Golf Channel insider Tim Rosaforte to help fill in a colorful off-course persona.

The 27-year-old got married last year in a hot air balloon, and as a car enthusiast he recently purchased a Ferrari. But he went with white, rather than traditional red.
