Hey, remember about 10 years ago when having slogans on your ass was all the rage? We were in college then, but you couldn't go 20 feet without seeing someone -- typically women -- wearing pants, usually of the sweat variety, with something on the butt.

Juicy. Phat. Pink. Whatever.

Well, that, thankfully, went away in the subsequent years. However, if U.S. Women's Open player Sakura Yokomine is any indication, that fashion statement could be making its way to golf.

The Japanese player wore khaki shorts on Saturday at the U.S. Women's Open that said "HAVE FUN!" on the butt. On her shirt, there was the slogan "TAKE A FULL SWING". It's a bit of a trend among some Asian-born players, having slogans written on the back of golf clothes.

Yokomine had a great time on Saturday at Lancaster Country Club, shooting 3-under 67 to get to 1 over par through 54 holes. At T-18, she is unlikely to win the title on Sunday, but she is having a good time.
