SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — Jewell, Jolee, Jeremiah and Josiah, bright and energetic young children ages ranging from 7 years to 18 months, are not on vacation this week, as had been expected.
But no worries; family joy is everywhere, because their father is playing in the 98th PGA Championship, as had not been expected.
As he stood in furnace-like heat at Baltusrol Golf Club Tuesday and talked of his improbable win and unlikely spot into this week’s major championship, Aaron Baddeley accepted a series of warm embraces and heartfelt congratulations. Bubba Watson’s caddie, Ted Scott, stopped by, as did Bill Haas and two-time PGA Championship winner Dave Stockton.
