Fort Worth, TX …

There is always stories within stories at any golf tournament and, of course, if you have 156 players in a field you will have 156 different stories.

But there is one very unique story already unfolding at this week’s Dean & Deluca Invitational and as we here at www.golfbyourmiss.com have been proudly reporting.

And that is the tale of 21-year Thai-born sensation, Jazz Janewattananond who is coached by an Englishman, who happens to live in Arizona and while Jazz’s caddy is Greg Harper, who was born in Scotland.

Harper is no stranger to caddying having called the shots for fellow Scot Simon Yates, who now aged 47 who lives in Thailand, and won twice on the Asian Tour.

However, what is very bizarre is how Jazz first met the Musselburgh-born Harper, and when you speak with Jazz you understand the connection.

“I have known Greg for about for the past three to four years and he is one of my good friends but then we first met each other many years ago when he was my English teacher,” said Jazz.

“So, Greg has been very important in what I have been able to achieve this year, winning on the Asian Tour and then getting that great win a few weeks ago in my homeland and my MahaSamutr Masters win in Hua Hin on the MENA Tour”.

Joining Harper this week is his proud father, and unlike Greg who has lived in Asia for a long time, he father sports a very distinct yet very proud Scottish accent.

Earlier this year Harper received an award of the Professional Tour Caddies of Asia when they held their annual gathering at the Maybank Championship on Tuesday.

Harper was recognised as the Tour’s “Funniest Caddy”.
