With regular caddie out, Lexi Thompson starts 2nd round of Tokyo Olympics tournament with new one by side

Lexi Thompson had a new caddie on her bag for the second round of the women's golf tournament at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday: Drew Hinesley.

Hinesley, who was in Tokyo working with NBC, took over because Thompson's regular caddie, Jack Fulghum, suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration during the first round and had to exit during the back-nine at the Kasumigaseki Country Club on Wednesday.

Hinesley has caddied on the PGA Tour, and he caddied for then-American amateur Bryson DeChambeau during the 2016 Masters.

During the first round, Fulghum stopped walking on hole No.
