CAVES VALLEY, Md. – As Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser has recently spent a lot of time around an Olympic medal. After Thursday, it’s clear that Kaiser won’t be winning one in track and field.
Not that Kaiser is slow. He showed off his wheels for the crowd at Caves Valley after a slight miscommunication led to Schauffele’s putter briefly going missing during the first round of the BMW Championship.
“Yeah, that’s my fault,” Schauffele conceded afterward.
Here’s what happened: Schauffele had just putted out for par at the par-4 10th hole when nature called. He took the flatstick with him, leaning it up against the outside of the portable restroom.
