A caddie collapsed at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am during the second round.
The caddie, whose name is currently being withheld due to privacy concerns, was working for one of the amateurs, Lukas Nelson, in this week’s tournament. The amateur was paired with PGA Tour players Beau Hossler and Max McGreevy.
The collapse occurred on the 11th hole at Pebble Beach during the second round. Medical professionals performed CPR and emergency manoeuvres on the caddie, with the caddie eventually placed on a stretcher and taken away by ambulance. A PGA Tour spokesperson confirmed the incident, with the tour releasing a statement that the caddie was rushed to Montage Health for evaluation.
According to ESPN’s Paolo Uggetti, the group was shaken and appeared to be at odds with a rules official about whether to continue play. The group was allowed to step aside to allow other groups play through. In a statement, the PGA Tour confirmed the foursome was allowed to halt their rounds in order to regroup.
“At the direction of the PGA Tour Rules Committee, the players in that group paused play during the medical emergency and will be allowed to warm up and resume their rounds shortly,” the statement said. “We will provide additional details when available.”
