CROMWELL, Conn. – Considering the news that rocked the golf world involving the split of Phil Mickelson and his longtime caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay, it didn’t go unnoticed that Paul Casey arrived at the Travelers Championship with a new man on his bag.
Following a third-round 66 that moved him to within four strokes of the lead, Casey was quick to clarify the newest member of his team is only a temporary move.
“Johnny wanted a week off. When Johnny started working with me a year and a half ago, we agreed he's got a young family, I've got a young family, that family was first,” Casey said of his normal caddie Johnny “Long Socks” McLaren.
