A caddie collapsed during the second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and required life-saving CPR before being rushed to a local hospital.
According to ESPN’s Paolo Uggetti, the unknown looper, who was carrying a bag for one of the amateurs in the foursome, which included tour pros Beau Hossler and Max McGreevy, went down in the middle of the fairway on the par-4 11th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links.

I hope it's nothing cardiac related… And if it is we need to start having the conversation about the covid vaxx and people dropping around the world
