Watch: Erik van Rooyen rocks out on guitar to Foo Fighters

Erik van Rooyen showed his talent on the golf course last month, making a run at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship title before finishing T-3.

The 30-year-old South African, who played collegiately at University of Minnesota and competes primarily on the European Tour, is rather gifted off the golf course, as well.

It’s an uncertain time for professional golfers due to the widespread cancellations and postponements of tournaments and major championships. Players are spending their time off by doing everything from practicing their game to juggling toilet paper on a wedge.

How has van Rooyen been passing the time off? Shredding on the guitar – ankles out, of course – while playing along to the Foo Fighter’s No Way Back. From the video, he posted it also appears van Rooyen has a healthy guitar collection at home and displays them prominently on his otherwise blank walls.

Hey Erik: I happen to play the drums, so let me know if you’re looking to have a virtual jam session.
