PGA Tour golf's biggest Leeds United supporter an unknown weapon in 49ers takeover

Leeds United supporters knew they had an allay on golf's PGA Tour in the shape of Yorkshireman and proud Whites fan Billy Foster. The current caddy for defending US Open champion Matthew Fitzpatrick and former man on the bag for Lee Westwood, Foster is very well know on the golf tour and among golf fans.

He's also well known to Leeds fans through his social media presence were he doesn't hide his love for Leeds, even getting the likes of several high profile players like Jordan Speith to do the famous Leeds salute which he shared on Instagram writing; "Welcome to the @leedsunited fan base Jordan Spieth."

Arguably the most recognised caddy in the world right now who has worked with Westwood, Seve Ballasteros, Sergio Garcia, Darren Clarke and Tiger Woods, Foster hasn't just been preaching about his beloved Leeds of late, he seems to have talked several golfers into buying into the club.
