There comes a time when a golf professional needs to take ownership of advice received from their caddie. And, there comes a time when a golfer needs to make their own decision. If the golfer is ever in doubt~~ it usually ends up with a crappy shot as you will see here.
Candie Kung, USC graduate and
American touring pro from Taiwanese descent, was extremely close to winning the
Canadian Pacific Women's Open this past Sunday. She was tied with Lydia Ko going into the
final round.
Inappropriate decisions between her
caddie and herself at the worst possible time probably cost her the
championship.
Jeff King is her caddie and told Candie to hit
a full wedge shot. Candie was worried about going over the green, which can be
serious trouble. As you can see from the video, she was never comfortable with
the club selection she did not come close to committing to the 110 yard shot. We will never know if it was the right club as
Jeff said. Her indecision caused her to
miss hit it the shot.
Jeff is allowed to read all of the
greens for her and she follows her caddy's advice. Candie says that she is not
a good green reader and trust Jeff's advice.
Jeff has become a famous caddie on tour
and is highly sought after, but not for his caddie abilities, it’s for his beef
jerky product. He is the founder of
KingsMade beef jerky, and his product is catching on amongst tour players.
Tiger Woods buys it by the pound.
