Rose gets regular caddie 'Fooch' back for Masters after heart surgery

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Justin Rose will have a familiar face back on the bag this week at the Masters.

Rose shared that caddie Mark Fulcher will reprise his role for the season’s first major, having missed the first three months of action after undergoing surgery to replace a heart valve in January. Rose had been using longtime looper Gareth Lord in his absence, including when he won at Torrey Pines, but is happy to be walking alongside his usual man this week at Augusta National.

“It’s been sort of a long-awaited arrival for him. I know time has been going very slowly for him,” Rose said.
