Spectators were cheering not just for the golfers at the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black this year, but for a certain caddie.
Jack Miller, a 63-year-old who works as the manager of the frozen foods section at King Kullen in Massapequa, was the most popular caddie at the PGA Championship. He was a late-addition caddie for Thailand's Jazz Janewattananond.
On the morning of the tournament's final round, Miller opened the supermarket at 5 a.m. -- just hours before the 2 p.m. tee-off.
