Trump pardons Harris English’s caddie Eric Larson after cocaine conviction

Donald Trump has pardoned Eric Larson, caddie for golfer Harris English, whose cocaine conviction prevented him from competing in the British Open in recent years. Larson, 66, had his application for a pardon signed on September 3, after he sought it beginning in January. English expressed his hope that Larson would be able to join him in future tournaments after having missed the last two British Opens. Despite the pardon, Larson's entry into the U.K. still remains uncertain as immigration officials consider his past conviction under standard criminality rules. Larson aims to resume his role as caddie in the upcoming events.
