Caddie booted out of Women鈥檚 Open over photos
Print Edition
The caddie for 10th-ranked Kim Sei-young was kicked out of the US Women鈥檚 Open on Tuesday after being discovered taking cell-phone photographs of course set-up documents.
US Golf Association officials said Paul Fusco had photos of internal notes on the course set-up. Details of pin placements and other details about course layouts are not available to players until the day of a round.
Fusco was banished from Lancaster Country Club and will not be allowed to caddie for Kim when she tries to capture her first major title starting today at the par-72 Pennsylvania course.
鈥淚 was surprised to hear about it,鈥 Kim told the Golf Channel. 鈥淚t鈥檚 upsetting.鈥
Kim will not be penalized for Fusco鈥檚 actions. She plans to have her bags carried by Steve Shellard, according to the Golf Channel. Shellard is the regular caddie for fellow South Korean star Pak Se-ri, who withdrew last week from the Open.
Multiple reports said Fusco was in an unauthorized USGA rules area without permission and taking pictures of hole locations and set-up plans for all four rounds when a USGA official discovered him.
鈥淚t鈥檚 like seeing a test before you take it,鈥 US Women鈥檚 Open championship director Ben Kimball told the Golf Channel.
Kim, 22, is the top newcomer on the LPGA Tour this season with two triumphs and two top-five major showings, including a runner-up effort last month at the Women鈥檚 PGA Championship.
Fusco has also caddied for Fiji鈥檚 Vijay Singh on the PGA Tour and South Korean Choi Na-yeon in the LPGA.
