Stenson 'fires' caddie after shooting 66 at Bay Hill
ORLANDO, Fla. – Henrik Stenson will be sticking around for the weekend at Arnie’s Place. The same can’t be said, however, for his caddie.
Stenson improved by 11 shots Friday, carding a second-round, 6-under 66 to move to 1 under and avoid just his second missed cut in 11 career Arnold Palmer Invitational starts. But when Stenson’s fill-in caddie, buddy Marcus Larsson, handed in his bib Friday evening, he wasn’t getting it back.
“Unfortunately, he’s getting fired,” Stenson said.
Stenson had a pre-tournament plan in place to use Larsson for the first 36 holes and then sub in his former caddie Fanny Sunesson, who retired from Stenson’s bag in 2012, for the weekend.
