After well over a decade working as a caddie at Royal County Down, it's safe to say I've seen just about all there is to see - both good and bad. I've previously written about the 4 craziest things I've seen whilst looping around one of the best golf courses in the world but one particular incident in September last year, one of my final rounds as a caddie, will live with me forever.
I'll set the scene - it's the Tuesday after the 2025 Irish Open. Some 48 hours earlier, Rory McIlroy's 15ft eagle putt on 18 slowly slid past the hole to crown Rasmus Hojgaard as the champion. Little did I know, the drama on the 18th would continue even after the pros had jetted off.
