AUGUSTA, Ga. – Alvaro Quiros and his caddie Gareth Lord have been strolling around Augusta National as if they’re on a first date.
Lord will be more than willing to give his player a kiss should Quiros end the weekend dressed in a green jacket.
“Yeah, I’ll kiss him if he wins,” said Lord, who played golf at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga from 1992-95 for coach Reed Sanderlin. “It’s my first week with him so I don’t know how he reacts to stuff.”
Lord prepared for his fifth Masters by spending a week in Chattanooga as a non-resident member of the Chattanooga Golf & Country Club where he is a two-handicap – he said for betting purposes at least.
He used to rent a condo downtown, but Lord spent his most recent trip in the basement of fellow former UTC golfer Mike Craig.
