KAWAGOE, Japan – As the heat index pushed toward 111 degrees at the Olympic women’s competition, Lexi Thompson walked to her second shot on the 15th hole when her caddie, Jack Fulghum, paused.
“He just asked me, he's like, ‘Do I look white to you’? And I'm like, I didn't really notice, but he just didn't look good. I just want him to be healthy, that's all,” Thompson said.
Fulghum said he felt like he was going to pass out and was replaced on Thompson’s bag by Donna Wilkins, a team leader for Team USA who was walking with the group, for the final three holes.
