[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 3205274, member: 4333"] Kuchar certainly comes off as a great guy when you watch him on the TV coverage of tournaments. He's regularly in contention and has a game that has all right parts, i.e. no real weaknesses, IMO. A substitute caddy can't possibly expect to make what the regular guy would and should negotiate with the player's game and likelihood of success in mind. It appears the guy was perfectly happy to make the $3K which was probably well beyond what he would have done in a regular week of caddying for resort hackers. It was only after the win and getting a nice bonus that he realized he left money on the table by taking the guarantee. He could have gambled on the win or a top 10 finish to get a slice of the bigger money and chose not to go that way. Ortiz may have operated from a position of imperfect knowledge so he went for the sure thing of $3K. [/QUOTE]
