Sei Young Kim’s caddie has been banned from the US Women’s Open after he was discovered in the USGA (United States Golf Association) rules office taking photos with his cell phone of “internal course setup documents,” according to a USGA representative.
Paul Fusco was escorted off the course by USGA security at Lancaster Country Club and will not be allowed to caddie for Kim this week.
The USGA representative said Fusco was in an area for which he was not properly accredited and that a USGA official discovered him taking photos of hole locations and hole setup information for the four rounds, information that was not yet scheduled to be provided to players.
The USGA does not report hole locations and setup information for each round until the specific morning of that round.
“I was shocked when I found out,” Kim said on the practice field. “It’s upsetting.”
