Kelly Caddies


Here's a nice story for everyone who thinks PGA Tour pros lack personality. Jerry Kelly kept a commitment to a young girl he met at a pro-junior event at the Sony Open in Hawaii three years ago and caddied for her in a practice round and the opening round of the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship in his navtive Wisconsin. Kelly had told Kristina Merkle that if she qualified for the event at Erin Hills, he would caddie for her. She did and he did, putting on a USGA caddie bib and toting her clubs in route to her first round 76. Hats off to Kelly for keeping a commitment.
