Pro goes through 4 caddies in 10 holes at Canadian Open

Rory McIlroy’s Canadian Open campaign has taken a bizarre turn, with the four-time major winner going through four caddies in just 10 holes of the opening round.

McIlroy began the day with his regular caddie, Harry Diamond, but after just five holes, Diamond left the course due to illness. McIlroy then played three holes with his coach, Michael Bannon, before switching to a local amateur caddie for the final two holes.

The constant caddy changes appeared to affect McIlroy’s game, as he struggled to an opening-round 76. He is now tied for 145th place, 12 shots behind early leader Justin Thomas.

McIlroy said after the round that he was “frustrated” by the situation, but he was hopeful that he could turn things around in the remaining three rounds.
