Oh Ko: Fluff To Loop For Lydia In Women's U.S. Open
/Ryan Lavner of Golf Channel reports that Mike "Fluff" Cowan will caddy for Jim Furyk and Lydia Ko in back to back weeks at Pinehurst No. 2.
"Cowan said they (he and Ko) were connected through K.J. Choi’s manager with IMG. Cowan said that he’s never met the 17-year-old phenom, and conceded that he doesn’t know much about her other than her age.
Ko, No. 3 in the Rolex rankings, has yet to find a stable caddie on the LPGA circuit, going through at least a half dozen this season, including her father, Hong.
Cowan hasn’t caddied in a women’s event since he looped for Michelle Wie at Kingsmill in 2004.
Ko has been moving through her fair share of caddies this year, and while this is obviously a one-off move, it's pretty clear she's not sold on the importance of a stable player-caddy partnership!
