Not a good start to Mathew Fitzpatrick's Masters.

[bozza]

Just read that apparently his caddie Lorne Duncan has left Augusta as he was told he wasn't allowed to wear his sandals to caddie which he has to wear due to a medical condition.

As much as I love the the Masters and the tradition that goes with it and the fact they held the kids Drive, Chip and Putt competition this year this is just over the top.

If he has a genuine medical condition what's the problem!?

Apparently he's now got Brooks Koepka's caddie on the bag for the week.

 

[Rooter]

good job too, who wants to see a man in sandals?!

 

[Andy808]

Never know he might do well!

 

[Sirmol]

Wonder if they would have sent Tiger's caddie home had he been playing and his caddie had that condition?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Was that sandals with socks or bare footed? Seems a bit petty if the bloke has a genuine medical condition

 

[happyhacker]

Out of curiosity, what medical condition necessitates wearing sandals?

Not sure but apparently it's a genuine rare medical condition where he can't wear trainers/shoes.

It's petty and i really can't see what the problem is.

Seems a bit ridiculous.

That and ensuring that Woods didn't get DQ last year are the bad points of Augusta

It's controlled too much by them when it should be ruled the the USGA or other golf governing bodies.

It's hardly surprising. This is a sport were people look at you like you've just run over their cat if your shirt isn't tucked in. And it is Augusta.

is it wrong for me to have a vision of Happy Gilmore's caddy when I read this
