Scottie Scheffler uses fill-in after caddie goes down with injury in final round

NORTON, Mass. – Scottie Scheffler had to play the back nine Sunday of The Northern Trust with a fill-in caddie after his regular looper went down with injury.

Scheffler said that caddie Scott McGuiness injured his right leg when he jumped to see where Scheffler’s ball had finished on the ninth hole at TPC Boston. CBS reported that McGuiness “felt something pop” when he landed. He was seen rubbing his right calf as he was carted to the medical tent.

“He had the bag on his back and went down pretty quick after,” Scheffler said.
