While Tiger Woods has dominated the headlines during Masters week, it was a four-year-old who grabbed the majority of the attention on Wednesday. Southport's Tommy Fleetwood brought his son, Franklin, as a caddie on the course.
Franklin sported a full caddie outfit as he sprinted down the course after his father’s ball - whilst switching his hat from forward to backward intermittently. Although it was not the first time he had done it, the crowd gave him a huge round of applause throughout the day.
On one hole, Fleetwood Sr landed a shot on to the green and Franklin went full steam ahead - sprinting all the way to the green with the hundreds in attendance cheering him on as he looked around in amazement and continued his run.

His four-year-old lungs held up well, as he sprinted to the ball quickly before waiting for his dad to get to the green himself.
