Caddie's attitude after house fire inspired Tamulis

Kris Tamulis gave a special thanks to her caddie for her breakthrough victory Sunday at the Yokohama Tire Classic in Prattville, Ala.

Thomas “Motion” Frank was as emotional as Tamulis in the aftermath.

Four-and-a-half months ago, Frank lost his home in Houston to a fire after it was struck by lightning. It was his long-time family home that he purchased from his mother. Tamulis and other tour pros helped a friend of Frank’s raise more than $14,000 to assist in the rebuilding.

“Mo believes in me more than I believe in me,” Tamulis said after winning her first LPGA title in her 11th season on tour.
