Should Rory McIlroy’s caddie have ‘stepped in’ at U.S. Open? Analyst says yes

Rory McIlroy’s difficult performance at the Canadian Open has prompted questions about whether his caddie should have taken action at the U.S. Open. According to analyst Michael Breed, caddies have a responsibility to step in when they witness players struggling mentally.

“They see everything that goes on out there,” Breed said. “They see the body language, they see the facial expressions, they hear the conversations. They’re in a unique position to offer support and guidance.”

In McIlroy’s case, Breed believes his caddie Harry Diamond should have stepped in after the fourth hole, when McIlroy was clearly frustrated and struggling. However, Diamond subsequently left the course due to illness, a twist that cast further complications upon the situation.
