SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Nobody got a closer look at Inbee Park’s march to the LPGA Hall of Fame than her long-time caddie, Brad Beecher.
He was there when she won her first major at the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen. He was there through the slump that followed. He was there in her fierce resurgence, when she won the first three major championships of the year in 2013, when she rose to Rolex world No. 1. And he was there Thursday when she officially qualified for the LPGA Hall of Fame.
Beecher, an Australian, has been on Park’s bag for all seven of her major championship victories.
