Jessica Korda Dumps Caddie Mid-U.S. Open Round For BF
/
Randall Mell reports a real oy veyer from the third round of the U.S. Women's Open at Sebonack.
Korda shot a 5-over 40 on the front nine. She shot a 36 on the back nine with her boyfriend on her bag. By day's end, she was tied for sixth.
“The first few holes, I was very shaky, but my boyfriend/caddie kept me very calm out there, and kept it very light,” Korda said. “And it was kind of funny seeing him fumble over yardage. Like I said, it just kept it very light out there.”
Korda said her boyfriend will remain on the bag Sunday, but he won’t continue to caddie longterm.
“I think everybody has problems every week,” Korda said of the disagreements with Gilroyed. “You blame the caddie, the caddie blames you. It's just up in the air. I just felt like enough was enough today. I just wasn't mentally ready for it.”
