Ferrero to caddie for Garcia

WORLD No. 6 Sergio Garcia has roped in former French Open tennis champion Juan Carlos Ferrero as his caddie for his title defence at next month’s Thailand Open, the Spaniard said yesterday.

Garcia will face stiff competition at the December 11-14 event with twice US Masters champion Bubba Watson, US Open champion Martin Kaymer and former world No. 1 Lee Westwood and Ernie Els also in the field at the Amata Spring club.

Ferrero, also Spanish, topped the tennis rankings in 2003 after claiming his only major title at Roland Garros but retired in 2012 after 14 years on the men’s tour.

“I’ve played golf with him many times but he never caddied for me before,” Garcia said. “We just talked about it and he mentioned about it and we decided to do it. He is excited about it.”
