This is not the first time he

has had the opportunity to

caddie for the tournament.

He had toted the big bag for

other young women golfers

seven previous times in the

Marathon Classic.

Carta and Reny spent time

on the course on Tuesday

and Wednesday prior to

the tournament and Carta’s

pro-am group even won the

Tuesday Pro-Am at Highland

Meadows. Carta and her

caddie came into the week

with zero expectations,

but an even-par round on

Thursday coupled with a

two-under-par-round

on

Friday left her inside the cut

line and eligible for play on

the weekend.

She became rattled when her

group was put on the clock on

Saturday. Then unfortunately

an overly-enthusiastic fan

dropped a beer can during

her back swing on number 14

on Saturday, which resulted

in a double-bogey. Her 77-

75 on the weekend left her

at T-69 for the tournament,

still a very respectable finish

for the young amateur. She

learned a huge lesson about

playing in front of big crowds

as well as what it takes to

succeed on the LPGA Tour.

Reny said of his player,

“Carta is an excellent ball-

striker, better than 99% of

other LPGA Tour players and

is long off the tee. We were

consistently 15 yards past our

playing partners. It is only a

matter of time before we will

see her on tour regularly.”

Carta moved on to the

U.S. Women’s Amateur

in Pennsylvania and Reny

returned to working with

junior golfers from around

Toledo for The First Tee. Both

had a great week and enjoyed

walking the fairways of

Highland Meadows together.
