Golf fan Paul Emerson had an experience of a lifetime when he stepped in to caddie for CT Pan in the final round of the Canadian Open on Sunday.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Taiwanese player’s normal caddie Mike ‘Fluff’ Cowan injured himself after tripping and falling on the third fairway.<\/p>\n
Pan\u2019s Irish playing partner Shane Lowry then carried his own bag, while his caddie Darren Reynolds picked up Pan\u2019s bag.<\/p>\n
Emerson, who is from nearby Aurora, Ontario, came to the rescue and offered Pan a helping hand and ended up carrying his clubs for two holes. <\/p>\n
Not only did he get to meet 2019 Open champion Lowry he also appeared on television coverage of the event.<\/p>\n
“I just said, ‘do you need a hand’ and he said, ‘yes please,’ so I helped Fluff get the bib off and threw it on and started walking up the hole,” he said.<\/p>\n
“My heart was pumping a little bit walking up the fairway. I\u2019m a golf nut. So, walking up, I\u2019m shaking hands with Lowry and his caddie.<\/p>\n
“The third hole went pretty quickly, then on the next tee box, we had some time to wait, and that\u2019s when it was on TV. I\u2019m just hearing a lot about it, my phone\u2019s going off a little bit. I joked around with him and said, \u2018I was hoping for a good view on the fourth tee’.”<\/p>\n
A member of the caddie services team then took over from Emerson on the fifth hole.<\/p>\n
Cowan was taken to the clubhouse and was treated for his injuries. <\/p>\n
Pan, who won the RBC Heritage in 2019, finished three under and joint 35th.<\/p>\n
Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, who had drafted in his own dad as caddie for the event, went on to win his first PGA Tour title at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
