The Kinda Good and The Kinda Bad Of Sergio On Show
Letâs get the kinda bad over with first as Brian Keogh (and Charlie Mulqueen within) brilliantly recount the Jose Maria Olazabal vs Padraig Harrington incident which started the bad blood and get Sergioâs reaction to whether Podge would get his pick. Or NOT!
âI know José will do the best thing for the team and if that includes Harrington, that will be fine. If not, there are a lot of other guys who are playing very, very well too. âI donât think heâs a sure pick personally. He wouldnât be a sure pick for me!â

And then thereâs Sergioâs kinda good side on paying his new caddie for The Wyndham win.
Local caddie David Faircloth stood in literally in the car park before the first round and helped Garcia to a two-stroke win Monday at the Wyndham, and when I say helped mean JUST carried the bag. Garcia did all his own yardages and putt reading. âMy role was to stay out of the wayâ, Faircloth said after.
The two never discussed a fee before the job however. Garciaâs victory earned him $960,000, meaning a caddie on 10% get $96,000. But Faircloth could hardly expect that for the work done. Sergio however suggested he wont be far off once a âtipâ is added.
âHeâll probably get $75,000 and a tip,â Garcia said. âHeâs going to be happy with what he gets. Obviously heâs not going to get what a normal caddie would get, because his job was fairly easy. But heâll be happy with whatever he gets.â
