Westwood’s caddie in 90-mile hike to the Open

Lee Westwood will have to do without his new caddie when he tees off in the Scottish Open in July.

Instead of accompanying Westwood around Loch Lomond, Billy Foster will leave the course on Thursday 9 July, the day the tournament starts.

He will trek 90 miles – golf bag and all – and plans to arrive at Turnberry, the venue of the Open, the following Monday.

“I organised the walk while I was working for Sergio Garcia, but Lee is fine with it,” said Foster.

The Darren Clarke Foundation for breast cancer and Candlelighters Children’s Cancer Trust will be the beneficiaries.

Lee Westwood’s bag contains:

DRIVER: PING Rapture V2

FAIRWAY WOODS: PING G10 3 and 5

Utility: PING Rapture Hybrid 19 degree

IRONS: PING S57

WEDGES: PING Tour W Wedges

PUTTER: PING JAS Tess

GOLF BALL: Titleist Pro V1X

Good luck with that walk Billy!
