CPR given to caddie at Pebble Beach Pro-Am
A caddie for an amateur player at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is reportedly recovering after the caddie collapsed midway through Friday’s second round and was given CPR before being taken away by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
In a statement, the PGA Tour said the caddie was working for one of the amateurs in the Max McGreevy-Beau Hossler pairing, while ESPN reporter Paolo Uggetti, who was at the event, wrote that the caddie was paired with businessman Geoff Couch. According to Uggetti, the incident happened on the fairway on the 11th hole at Pebble Beach, and play was stopped for nearly an hour.
As of Friday night, there was no immediate update on the caddie’s condition, though Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis, who was also at the tournament, twice reported during the network’s coverage that the caddie was going to be OK. ESPN’s Uggetti also wrote that Lukas Nelson, a musician and the other amateur in the group, told him that the caddie was “doing better.”

At 5:01 p.m., the Tour shared this statement:
“During the second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, there was a medical emergency at No. 11 at Pebble Beach involving an amateur’s caddie. The caddie has been rushed to Montage Health for evaluation. At the direction of the PGA Tour Rules Committee, the players in that group — Max McGreevy and Beau Hossler — paused play during the medical emergency and will be allowed to warm up and resume their round shortly.”
