Pat bags caddy shot

Irish golf photographer Pat Cashman found himself at the other end of the camera lens at the Volvo Champions event in Durban yesterday.

Cashman, who takes pictures for the Golfing Union of Ireland, dramatically came to Pádraig Harrington’s rescue after caddy Ronan Flood collapsed with a mystery stomach bug and dehydration during the second round of the $4m (€2.9m) event in South Africa.

Flood, who has caddied for Harrington for almost a decade, was ill before tee-off and then collapsed on the sixth hole of the Durban Country Club course.
