Six consecutive events in Britain have essentially given him a six-week trip around England and Wales, driving from tournament to tournament with his caddy
Canada's Aaron Cockerill hits a shot during day three of the English Championship at Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel and Country Club in Ware, England, on Aug. 8, 2020.Aaron Cockerill is really getting to know his caddy Stuart Beck this season on the European Tour. It’s the deep kind of familiarity that can only come from a long road trip.
“Lots of time together. He’s probably getting sick of me,” said Cockerill with a laugh. “They’ve created a pod system within bubble so you can only eat dinner with your caddy and one other player and their caddy, so you can only hang out with a couple of people all week.”Cockerill noted that even within his small dining pod – he and Beck have been eating with American Johannes Veerman recently – the tables are “hilariously” far apart.
“Last year you’d finish a tournament and then fly what seemed like halfway around the world and a few time zones over,” said Cockerill. “Honestly, it’s been great because it’s just been so much easier. ... It’s really simple. You just show up and play golf.” A tie for 53rd at the Wales Open on Sunday moved him up four spots in the Race to Dubai rankings, placing him in 152nd heading into play on Thursday. The top 110 cards keep their cards next season.
