Phil Morbey boasts more than 40 wins worldwide and was on the bag for Ian Woosnam's 1991 Masters victory and a number of Ryder Cups.
Leona Maguire holed out from the fairway for eagle with a 9-iron on her first hole with Phil Morbey on the bag. Morbey, known by friends as "Wobbly," joked that he might as well walk in after that start.
Maguire went on to shoot 67-71 in the first two rounds of the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links and sits in a share of eighth at 6 under. She's six back of leader Lottie Woad, who is making her pro debut.
Morbey boasts more than 40 wins worldwide and was on the bag for Ian Woosnam's 1991 Masters victory and a number of Ryder Cups. European stars he's worked with include Darren Clarke, Jose Maria Olazabal, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood.
"He's a legend of the game," said Maguire. "He's caddied for some big players. I have big shoes to fill, but nice to have his expertise and experience on the bag."
Maguire noted that this week marks Morbey's first time working in the women's game.
