Caddie Tevez may not be welcome after all

THE Royal & Ancient organizers gave a mixed reaction to the sight of Manchester City footballer Carlos Tevez caddying for fellow Argentine Andres Romero in the final round of the British Open.

"I think we may need to look at this particular case," R&A championship committee chairman Jim McArthur told reporters yesterday.

"The strange thing for me was he never put the bag down so when he was standing on the green he was carrying the bag all over the place. It's just absolute madness. Maybe it's something we need to just have a look at. We do normally get a list of caddies at the beginning of the week and we take that into account," McArthur said.

Tevez was not able to inspire his friend Romero who carded four double-bogeys and a solitary birdie to close with a dismal 82 to finish on 18 over and last in the field.
