A heated confrontation between Tour veteran Robert Allenby and his caddie during Thursday's first round of the Canadian Open led to Allenby firing his caddie midround, then having a fan jump in to caddie for his last nine holes.
According to Golf.com, Allenby's confrontation with his caddie, Mick Middlemo, took place following his fourth shot on the par-5 13th. Middlemo had insisted Allenby use an 8-iron for the 150-yard shot, against Allenby's choice of a 7-iron.
