A sad note today out of San Diego. Longtime PGA Tour caddie Steve Duplantis was killed when he stepped off a median in Del Mar and was struck by a taxi. Duplantis, who most recently toted for Eric Axley, was a highly regarded looper whose former employers included Jim Furyk, Rich Beem and Tommy Armour. Some of his exploits are recounted in a book about Beem called Bud, Sweat, & Tees: A Walk on the Wild Side of the PGA Tour by Alan Shipnuck. Duplantis was 35.
