Gareth Lord was a talented golfer in his own right, in fact he was good enough to be picked for the England Boys team alongside Lee Westwood.
He earned a scholarship to play golf at the University of Tennessee, then returned to Europe and eventually found himself coaching the game in Germany.
Lord established himself as a caddie working alongside Robert Karlsson, and in 2008, the Swede won the European Tour’s Order Of Merit and Lord was named caddie of the year.
Through his exploits with Karlsson, the Coventry man made himself one of the most highly respected caddies in the game, and in 2013 found himself alongside Henrik Stenson.
