no!

by NedB-H Tue 01 Nov 2011, 12:09 pm

The clue is in the last guy's name...

by kwinigolfer Tue 01 Nov 2011, 12:35 pm

You mean, Whoever Alejandro Larrazabal is?

Their real first names are actually Pablo?

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Tue 01 Nov 2011, 12:53 pm

Pablo is his brother is he not ?

by kwinigolfer Tue 01 Nov 2011, 1:00 pm

Setup,
I think my guess was extremely stupid. Cancel that!

by NedB-H Tue 01 Nov 2011, 3:45 pm

Not there yet, but Pablo is relevant.

Setup's first guess is still closest...

by NedB-H Tue 01 Nov 2011, 3:45 pm

SetupDeterminesTheMotion wrote:Pablo is his brother is he not ?

Yes he is...

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Tue 01 Nov 2011, 4:52 pm

They all used family members as caddies.

by NedB-H Tue 01 Nov 2011, 5:39 pm

SetupDeterminesTheMotion wrote:They all used family members as caddies.

Specifically, all have played Majors with family members on the bag. Faldo's son Matthew caddied for him at a few recent Opens; Watson's son Michael caddied for him at the Masters and US Open last year; Fichardt's wife Natasha was his regular caddie at the start of the last decade, when he played a couple of Opens; and Alejandro Larrazabal won the 2002 Amateur Championship, qualifying him for the 03 Masters which he completed with a young Pablo carrying his bag.

Knew there was someone else obvious! Wonder how many others fit the category, suspect a few of the old guys like Nicklaus and Palmer had kids caddie for them at some point.

Jack definitely did. Pretty sure his son was on the bag his last open at St Andrews.

by kwinigolfer Tue 01 Nov 2011, 7:06 pm

Bill Haas and brother Jay.
Davis Love and brother Mark.
Russ Cochran and his sons.
Kenny Perry and his son.
Langer and young Steffan.
Molinaris.
George Archer used to have his daughter carry his bag!
Several wives, O'Hair with his f-in-law, I think Stricker at one time too.
Lots of 'em.

by pedro Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:03 pm

Absolutely right.
What more links Garcia and Norman?

by super_realist Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:24 pm

Was Garcia nobbing his wife too?

by pedro Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:26 pm

Close, but no cigar.

by Doon the Water Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:28 pm

Spot on Pedro

by super_realist Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:30 pm

Nobbing Norman?

by pedro Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:36 pm

super_realist wrote:Nobbing Norman?

To be honest I couldn't say. But maybe that's why Greg's daughter dumped Sergio?
Anyway, it's not what I'm thinking of...

by kwinigolfer Tue 01 Nov 2011, 11:39 pm

They have co-designed golf courses together - I think the TPC San Antonio is one.

by pedro Wed 02 Nov 2011, 10:34 am

kwini, may be true, but I was not thinking of that. It's not googleable.
Hint: Think McIlroy

by kwinigolfer Wed 02 Nov 2011, 11:20 am

They all dated tennis players, Evert, Hingis, Wozza

PS: If I have to google an answer, I tend not to post it . . . . . . .

by NedB-H Wed 02 Nov 2011, 11:20 am

Is McIlroy the third in the trend... Evert-Hingis(?)-Wozniacki?

by Maverick Wed 02 Nov 2011, 11:22 am

Didn't Sergio had a thing with Hingis, good lad, should've gone for Sharapova though....

by NedB-H Wed 02 Nov 2011, 11:23 am

Clearly the McIlroy clue gave it away for all of us Laugh

by pedro Wed 02 Nov 2011, 12:03 pm

Correct! More precisely they both dated former world no.1 women tennis players (Hingis, Chris Evert).
(McIlroy still dates Wozzy, so I didn't include him in the original question.)

by kwinigolfer Wed 02 Nov 2011, 12:16 pm

No Adam Scott . . . . Wasn't Ana #1? Maybe not quite!

by kwinigolfer Wed 02 Nov 2011, 5:08 pm

Was surprised to see that only two golfers have contested each HSBC Champions so far.
Who are they?

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Wed 02 Nov 2011, 5:18 pm

Westwood & Harrington
