TOKYO – Taiwan golfer C.T. Pan has found an ingenious way around the “no-family” rule at spectator-free Tokyo 2020 – he employs his wife as his caddie.
Pan, who has enjoyed one win on the US PGA Tour in 2019, said Wednesday his wife Michelle Lin could be key to a podium finish when the men’s event starts at Kasumigaseki Country Club on Thursday.
“Since this is the biggest event in my life, and for the whole world, I needed to bring out my best. She’s my best caddie,” said the 29-year-old Pan, who tied 30th in Rio de Janeiro five years ago.
