Golfer Tyrrell Hatton's Mysterious Alter Ego and the Bond with His Caddie, as Discussed by Golf Channel Host Cara Banks
In the vibrant world of professional golf, Cara Banks has carved out a unique niche for herself. Her journey began in Florida, where her friendship with caddie Mark 'Fooch' Fulcher blossomed due to their shared English heritage.
Banks' proximity to the action on the green is not always a guarantee of a front-row seat. Instead, she often finds herself in the thick of it, yet somewhat removed, a testament to her role as a live broadcaster. This was evident during the US Open, where she was on the 18th green for J.J Spaun's historic 64-foot birdie putt that clinched the victory.
The thrill of live broadcasting, Banks says, stems from being right in the centre of the action. However, this wasn't always the case. Upon moving to the US, Banks had to swiftly adapt to the demands of live programming, a departure from her previous role at Sky Sports in the UK where she wasn't heavily involved in live broadcasts.
Banks' tenure as a broadcaster has seen her witness some of golf's most memorable moments. One such instance was Rory McIlroy's big win at THE PLAYERS Championship on a Monday, a victory that Banks believes set him up for a strong year.
During the 2017 Open, Banks walked with Rory McIlroy's group for BBC radio while Jordan Spieth was winning the championship in dramatic fashion. It was a day filled with tension and excitement, a perfect encapsulation of what makes golf such an enthralling sport.
Banks' friendship with Fooch has been a constant in her golfing journey. This year, they celebrated Fooch's 60th birthday during the Masters, a week that unexpectedly ended with Justin Rose in a playoff.
In her role as a broadcaster, Banks has had the opportunity to interview some of the sport's biggest names. One such instance was a planned show segment where she interviewed Damon Hack, Anna Jackson, and Tim Barter, discussing player-to-caddie dialog exchanges within competitions.
Banks considers Fooch to be her closest friend on tour. Their bond, forged over shared experiences and mutual respect, adds a personal touch to Banks' coverage of the sport she loves. As she continues to bring golf's biggest moments to audiences around the world, Banks' friendship with Fooch serves as a reminder that behind the scenes, there are stories waiting to be told.
