Golf-Caddie booted from U.S. Women's Open for photos

LANCASTER, Pennsylvania, July 7 (Reuters) - World number 10 Kim Sei-young's caddie was booted from the U.S. Women's Open on Tuesday after he was found in the USGA rules office improperly taking photos of course setup documents, officials said.

Veteran caddie Paul Fusco was escorted off the property by USGA security at Lancaster Country Club and will not be allowed to caddie for South Korea's Kim at this week's major.

"He was in a USGA office taking photos of internal USGA course setup documents and was discovered by a USGA official," spokesperson Christina Lance told Reuters.

"It was information that is not available to all players until the day of the tournament.
