FORT WORTH, Texas – OK, so maybe the caddie derby at Colonial’s 13th hole isn’t the week’s most heated competition. That, of course, would go to Sunday’s head-to-head duel between Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, but the festive event did land some style points on Saturday.
After Jim Furyk and David Mathis teed off on the par 3, Mathis’ caddie Matt Achatz stopped short of the putting surface and bowed to Mike “Fluff” Cowen, Furyk’s bagman and a caddie-yard legend.
“(Achatz) held up on me,” Cowen told GTC Sunday morning, “but I got the ‘W.’”
