Watch incredible moment PGA Tour star picks random FAN from crowd to carry bag after regular caddie is injured in fall
PGA TOUR golfer C.T. Pan picked a random FAN to carry his bag after his regular caddie suffered an injury at the Canadian Open.
Taiwanese star Pan, 32, watched veteran caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan put himself out of action when he slipped and fell while walking down a hill on the third hole.

Fan Paul Emerson offered to step in to help Pan with his roundGetty
Emerson was given the honour, seen here pulling on the bib
Pan helped Cowan over to medics, before a fan, who PGA.com identified as Paul Emerson, offered to step in for the injured caddie.
Pan accepted the proposal, before Emerson could be seen pulling on the bib.
Reflecting on the moment, Emerson said: “I helped Fluff get the bib off, threw it on and started walking up the hole.”
The unorthodox move is within PGA rules, but still left commentators somewhat surprised.
One of the broadcasters said: “They actually brought in a random person from the gallery.”
While another praised Emerson, adding: “What a nice man to help out and what an honour for him as well.”
Emerson performed the duties for two holes, before a member of the caddie services team took over on the fifth.
They were then replaced by Paul Barjon’s caddie Al Riddell on the 10th hole.

Golf fans heaped praise on Pan for getting the fan out of the crowd to help him, with one social media user saying: “WAIT, this is AMAZING. ”
Another added: “What a sick moment!”
While a third replied: “I don’t mean to be dramatic… but this is quite literally my dream…”
Pan, who won the last of his three PGA Tour titles back in 2019, finished the Canadian Open tied for 35th place on three under.
Scot Robert MacIntyre won the event after shooting 16 under – his first PGA Tour title.
