Interesting caddie story:
Caddied for Jiyai Shin at the 2008 KLPGA Championships. She had a 1pm tee time and at the time we were teeing off -1 was leading the tournament from all the morning play and so on. Jiyai holed her 2nd shot into the 1st hole with a utility club from 180yds for eagle. She went on to win the event by 3 or 4, and not once giving away the lead of the tournament within any period of the 72 holes of the tournament.
