Seven-Year-Old Caddy Steals the Show | Winnipeg News

Doug Penner stunned the field with a wire-to-wire win at the Golf Manitoba Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, carding a final-round 65 to finish at 12-under — two strokes ahead of Evan Nachtigall and David Spurr. The real twist? His caddy? His seven-year-old son, Liam, who read greens like a pro and kept Dad calm under pressure. Starting four strokes back and bogeying the first hole, Penner birdied eight of the next 17 holes, sticking to a simple strategy: keep it in play and attack the pins — and he didn’t even check the leaderboard until the 18th. Meanwhile, David Spurr added another trophy to his summer haul, dominating the Mid-Masters by 13 strokes. And in women’s golf, Addison Kartusch made the cut at the Canadian Women’s Amateur, starting the weekend tied 37th, seven back of the leaders.
