Barracuda Squabble! Caddie Quits Mid-Round, Fan Picks Up Bag

Together, anything's possible! Or not.

The six-hole replacement for Brian Stuard was a local amateur named Christy Atencio and she looped in flip-flops. Thanks to John Strege for the Loop item on this superb Dan Hinxman Reno Gazette-Journal story of Stuard and caddie Michael Lawson bickering for several holes until Lawson dropped the bag in disgust.

From Hinxman's story:

"That was a first for me," Stuard said Sunday after finishing his final round at the Barracuda Championship at Montreux Golf and Country Club. "Weird situation."

Local amateur Christy Atencio, in flip-flops and a dress, carried Stuard's bag the rest of the way.
"She did good," Stuard said. "It was real nice of her to come out of the crowd and carry the bag those last six holes. She made it easy."

Montreux assistant pro Chad Munoz took over on Sunday, and Stuard finished 72nd with 11 points.

Strege's Loop item also includes a Tweeted photo of the replacement caddie.
