Play halted at Dubai Ladies Masters after caddie dies

THE first round of the Dubai Ladies Masters was suspended in the UAE yesterday after the death of a caddie on the course, the Ladies European Tour said in a statement.

The caddie collapsed on the 13th fairway and was attended to by the on-site medical team before being taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. “Everyone at the Ladies European Tour is extremely shocked and saddened today by this sudden death and therefore we have taken the decision to suspend first-round play as a mark of respect,” Ladies European Tour CEO Ivan Khodabakhsh said. Local media reported that the caddie, whose name was not released, was carrying the bag of France’s Anne-Lise Caudal. Round one will resume today and the event has been scaled back to 54 holes.
