Tevez ‘should stick to soccer’ after friend’s 82

Very few rounds of 82 receive — or indeed deserve — a rousing welcome to the 18th green at the British Open and it is almost unheard of for a caddie to be the focus of all the attention.

So the sight of Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez grinning broadly and giving the thumbs-up to the galleries lining the fairway as he carried the bag of Andres Romero was an unlikely one to say the least.

The 28-year-old’s affinity with golf has been well documented in the last year as it seemed he was photographed on the course in Argentina almost every day after walking out of City following a row with manager Roberto Mancini.
