Paul Emerson only planned on watching the RBC Canadian Open from the gallery this weekend in Hamilton, but ended up caddying for one of the pros.
Paul Emerson, 50, carried the bag for Taiwan's C.T. Pan for 2 holes after his original caddy, Mike Cowan, was injured in a slip and fall.

On Sunday, C.T. Pan was in the middle of the third hole at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club when his caddie, Mike Cowan, slipped and injured himself.“I simply said to C.T. Pan, ‘Do you need help?’ And he said, ‘Yes,’” Emerson recalled, adding that he had only ever caddied once before at the amateur level.
Emerson, who works as a lawyer but describes himself as a “golf nut,” was featured in the broadcast of the fourth round and caddied two holes for Pan. He birdied on the third hole and bogeyed on the fourth. “And I don't think he was planning on asking in the time we were together,” Emerson said with a smile.
