Kevin Kisner Had To Make A Caddie Switch Mid-Round During THE PLAYERS Final Round

During Kevin Kisner’s final round at THE PLAYERS on Monday he had to make a caddie switch mid-round as his normal, long-time caddie Duane Bock started to feel unwell.

Bock started to experience stomach issues on the 5th hole of the Stadium Course and started to fall behind.

Kisner Said:

“Yeah, I had a lot going on out there today. Went from not getting one yardage for 57 holes, 60 holes, to doing them all. Duey wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t know he was feeling as bad as he was until I noticed he was even slower than normal. Hopefully he’s feeling all right.”

Kisner was forced to put long-time swing coach John Tillery on his bag for the rest of the round, but lets just say it wasn’t as smooth of a transition as Kiz would’ve hoped for.

Kisner said:

“John’s a trip, man. Every hole, How far we got, pro?… Well, there for a little bit it was a whirlwind because they switched kind of mid holes and a lot going on, try to figure out who had what information and who had golf balls because Duey does everything, we’ve been together 13 years, he’s like my second wife who takes care of everything, and then I got the most disorganized human in the world caddying for me in John. It was quite interesting there for a few holes, but we kind of found a rhythm there in the middle of the round.”

The transition worked out in the end as Tillery helped guide Kisner to a solo 4th finish and helped him win $980,000 for the tournament. Not too shabby.
