Great Scott, shame about the Caddy

Adam Scott congratulates Steve Williams on his win…. no wait, Adam Scott wins
Adam Scott played a virtually faultless final round of 65 to win the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone. Scott pocketed $1.3 million for the win and has jumped into the World Top 10 joining fellow Aussie Jason Day.   Scott’s form couldnt come at a better time with this weekends PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club. Potential for some early mornings this weekend for Australians, hoping to watch Scott and Day competing for the final major of 2011.

Now this is the way to play your approach to the 72nd hole when leading the tournament.
Unfortunately a lot of the media attention was focused on caddy Steve Williams. Williams is still very bitter from his public break up with Tiger Woods, and in what is closer to Hollywood gossip than sport, Williams held his own press conference rating the win as his greatest career win as well as claiming he is a great frontrunner.   The comments were squarely aimed at Woods, bitter and uncalled for.  Now, professional caddies play a vital role in support, mentor, coach and strategist for golfers, and Williams is one of the best. But seriously, the best caddys are also seen and not heard.
Should Scott continue his current form and, fingers crossed, hold the PGA Championship trophy aloft this weekend, his caddy should receive earned respect and congratulations, but keep his mouth shut on the victory dias!
