Garcia using Euro Tour winner as fill-in caddie
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Sergio Garcia’s caddie hit his tee shot a little thin during the competition on the par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. His ball landed on the back portion of the green and scooted over the back, and “WATER” was recorded next to Glen Murray’s name on the video board.
Only one problem: Murray didn’t hit the shot.
He’s back home, off for the next month after his wife gave birth to the couple’s second child, a boy.
In Murray’s place is Jose Manuel Lara, a two-time European Tour winner who will caddie for Garcia, the reigning Masters champion, this week at The Players, as well as the Byron Nelson and Colonial.
