Gareth Lord, Stenson's caddie, made a different type of bet on his player. And it's one that's going to cost Lord dearly.
According
to Golf Digest's Tim Rosaforte, Lord and Stenson entered into a wager a
year ago: If Stenson won a major, Lord would have to quit smoking. A
bet Stenson kept Lord apprised of during the Open's final round.
On
the seventh hole at Troon, Lord, nervous at the building tension, lit a
cigarette. Upon seeing this, Stenson turned to his looper and remarked,
"You better enjoy that. You have about two and a half hours left."
