It turns out, of course cause I’m watching Golf Central now that Lee’s caddie, Billy Foster as a fundraiser for cancer research WALKED the 90 miles in between Loch Lomond(where last week’s event, the Scottish Open was played)and Turnberry. Foster, who carried a bag of Lee’s clubs the entire way was greeted by several players upon arriving at Turnberry. Most notable of those, Darren Clarke who lost his wife to cancer nearly 3 years ago was there as Foster dedicated the fundraiser in her memory.
In total, $55,000 was raised by Foster in the last 5 days. It’s really easy to root for Lee now, don’t you think?
You betcha! Thanks for that background story. This will be a fun tournament, I hope. The US Open was tough to watch with all the bad weather.
