ORLANDO, Fla. — As Jason Day walked off the eighth green at the end of his practice round Tuesday, the first picture he took wasn’t with an admiring fan or heart-eyed teenage girl.
There were plenty of those waiting outside the ropes, but first Day snapped a selfie with one of the caddies.
Zach Urwiler, 16, is on the bag for amateur Maverick McNealy this weekend after McNealy received a sponsor exemption to the event stemming from the Palmer Cup last June. This is the fourth PGA Tour event for McNealy, a junior at Stanford and the fourth-ranked men's collegiate golfer in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, but it’s the first time Urwiler has caddied at a professional event.
