DORAL, Fla. -- Saturday was a big day for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik. He turned 50, meaning he could now compete on the Champions Tour. He spent some time on Twitter thanking everyone for their well wishes.

Sunday morning, he made his first potential bogey as a 50-year-old, posting this video of himself in bed next to his snoring wife, Mia:

Alltid lika kul med piggt och glatt umgänge..... @mrsparnevik #parneviks #tv3 https://t.co/CTJQvhu6NX

The tweet was in Swedish, as was his whispering, giggling play-by-play of Mia.

Even Lee Westwood took time to tweet Parnevik before teeing off for his final round at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

"@WestwoodLee: @JesperParnevik @Mrsparnevik you're a very brave man !!!" >>Haha, she doesn't know yet and will probably never see it....=L=L

Jesper also responded to tweets (including mine) a few minutes later.

Am I in trouble @LisaLongball ....? She should laugh about it,.....right....or maybe I am in trouble.....I'm going outside for awhile....

"@ESPNCaddie: .@JesperParnevik @Mrsparnevik Husband later found dead... Wife says her funny video coming out later!!" >>> Now I'm scared...

But don't worry, this story has a happy ending.



Thank god my wife has a good sense of humor. Her reaction to my earlier post was a relief!! https://t.co/ctClS1htVX

If I were Parnevik, I'd make sure to fall asleep after my wife and wake up before her for a while. She's pretty funny, too, and we all know what payback can be!
