He needed an emergency caddy so Robert MacIntyre called up good ol Dad, got him off the couch and on the bag. All they did was win the Canadian Open for the young man's first PGA win. Congrats to Father and Son.

I'm guessing there's going to be some serious celebrating back in Scotland!

It was exceedingly cool to hear him and his dad being interviewed after the win. I loved their Scottish accents. So shoot me.

Well you can shoot me too, I loved it. First win on the PGA and he does it with his Dad as a last minute caddy.

I don't really follow golf, but that's pretty cool. Father & son. I wonder how much that is done.

Almost never and this was an "emergency replacement" his Dad does not usually caddie for him. There are pros who have their wives, or brothers caddie for them but almost none have their Dads on the bag.
