00:00:00
I hadn't caddy for a while and um there
00:00:02
was some uncertainty whether the tiger
00:00:04
was going to play at the 2011 US Open. I
00:00:07
left here on the Saturday under the
00:00:10
intention that he was playing in the
00:00:11
tournament and I took my father-in-law
00:00:12
and another friend with me to Los
00:00:14
Angeles and upon arriving there I find
00:00:16
out he's not playing in the tournament.
00:00:17
In an hour or so I got a call from Adam
00:00:20
Scott and said, "Could you come cry for
00:00:21
me?" So I ran it by Tiger said, "Yeah,
00:00:23
no problem." So we carried on to
00:00:24
Washington DC. And then the next thing I
00:00:26
get a message from Tiger's manager
00:00:28
saying, "Tiger would rather you not
00:00:29
cry." in the US Open for Adam. And when
00:00:31
I look back, I understand why. At the
00:00:33
time, I didn't give it enough thought.
00:00:34
And at the time, I thought, why would it
00:00:36
mark the end of the road? I'm just going
00:00:37
to go and caddy for a guy for a week.
00:00:38
I'm already here. I've brought my
00:00:39
father-in-law and a friend over to watch
00:00:41
the tournament. It's going to be a bit
00:00:42
funny to go to the tournament and not be
00:00:44
cattying in it. And my wife said, "No,
00:00:45
if a tiger doesn't want you to cy, you
00:00:47
shouldn't caddy." And I should have
00:00:48
listened to it because, you know,
00:00:49
arguably I'd probably still be catting
00:00:51
from to this day. But at the time, I
00:00:52
made the wrong decision. And that's
00:00:54
where it all unfolded. So, that's just
00:00:55
the way it is.
