AUGUSTA, Ga. – Furman’s Haylee Harford was on the second hole of her practice round Friday morning at Augusta National when her dad, Kevin, said to her, “I think you should take the local caddie.”
Kevin Harford caddied for his daughter in the opening two rounds of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur at Champions Retreat Golf Club. But with Haylee still in contention, at 1 over and in a share of 11th as the tournament shifts to intricate Augusta National, Kevin knew he needed to hand over the reins to someone more experienced. Haylee agreed.
“[The local caddies] know so much information that we couldn’t possibly take enough notes on,” Harford said.
