Caddie Darren Woolard quits mid-tournament for David Lipsky in Japan
Summary

Darren Woolard has reportedly ceased working as caddie for David Lipsky during the ongoing Baycurrent Classic in Japan. Woolard informed Lipsky to find a replacement before the final round at Yokohama Country Club, leading to Lipsky starting with a different caddie. Lipsky has struggled this tournament, following an opening round of 66 with rounds of 72 and 73. His disappointing streak included a poor showing on Sunday, where he bogeyed four of his first five holes before finishing with a 1-under 70. The incident adds to a season marked by a number of unusual caddie-player separations.
