Greenville's Eassy steps up big for eventual BMW Charity Pro-Am champ
Greenville's Evan Eassy just finished his freshman year playing golf at Belmont Abbey in North Carolina.
However, the biggest tournament he was involved in this spring wasn't as a player but, instead, as a caddie.
He was the emergency replacement for eventual BMW Charity Pro-Am winner Austin Smotherman's caddie Zach Williamson on Thursday (Carolina Country Club) and Friday (Thornblade Club) when Williamson was too ill to work. It was a random connection as Eassy and Smotherman had never met.
Smotherman made sure to heap praise on the former Mauldin High golfer Eassy after claiming his second Korn Ferry Tour win Sunday at Thornblade, giving a nod to Eassy's familiarity with the two courses played as comforting and emphasizing how smoothly things went.
Williamson returned to Smotherman's side for rounds three and four as Smotherman won the tournament at 25-under par.
