Farewell, Fanny Garcia fires Sunesson after only eight tournaments
Posted: Monday March 27, 2000 03:26 PM
PONTE VEDRA, Florida (Reuters) -- Swedish caddie Fanny Sunesson was not among the ranks of the unemployed for very long following her firing by Spain's Sergio Garcia on Friday night at the Players Championship. American golfer Fred Funk was swift to enlist her as his new caddie and she will be on his bag at next week's Masters at Augusta, Georgia. Sunesson, who was staying with Funk and his wife Sharon at their Ponte Vedra home during the Players Championship, was dismissed by Garcia after only eight tournaments together, beginning with the Williams World Challenge in Phoenix in January. Funk said: "Fanny had a meeting with Sergio on Friday evening and was very hurt by the decision. I don't think there were any flare-ups, it was a clash of personalties. She didn't feel appreciated and was becoming irritable. They didn't gell. "Now she is all mine and I am delighted. There is no harder working caddie on tour and she is a very good friend of my wife and I." Sunesson split with Britain's Nick Faldo last November after she had helped him to four of his six majors in their 10-year partnership.
