LANCASTER, Pa. – The USGA isn’t backing down on its decision to remove caddie Paul Fusco from the U.S. Women’s Open.
A day after USGA officials said they discovered Fusco in the rules office improperly taking cell phone photos of “internal course setup documents” and banished him from the competition, championship chairman Diana Murphy was asked about the decision in the association’s annual U.S. Women’s Open news conference.
Fusco, Sei Young Kim’s regular caddie, was taking photos from documents that included hole locations, yardages, alternate tee boxes and even forecasted wind directions for each of the four rounds, according to the USGA.
