Vincent Norrman’s caddie wins 17th-hole caddie competition

Kaufman excited to host 'Happy Hour' from No. 17
Smylie Kaufman discusses his anticipation to host Friday's 'Happy Hour' alongside Kevin Kisner from the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The annual caddie competition at TPC Sawgrass’ 17th hole was won by Vincent Norrman’s caddie, Sean McDonagh, with a tee shot that nestled 2 feet, 1 inch from the hole.

The competition is held each Wednesday before The Players Championship and players in the field donate to a purse that goes to the winner. The PGA Tour matches the purse with a donation to the Bruce Edwards Foundation, a charity that honors the longtime Tour caddie who died from ALS in 2004.

McDonagh also received a parking spot next to the clubhouse for the week, an engraved money clip, a custom drawing by Casey Jones and his name on a plaque inside the clubhouse.

Mick Brennan, who caddies for Matt NeSmith, finished second with a tee shot to 2 feet, 9 inches, followed by Phillip Reedy, Harry Hall’s caddie, who was alone in third with a shot to 5 feet, 4 inches.
