"Tosti's Caddie Quit on Him Today"
The anonymous message came from the caddie himself. Days later, Cliff Ellis and Alejandro Tosti each told me their side of what happened.

This is the full story behind the viral video of Alejandro Tosti's caddie walking off the course. Disagreements over money, arguments on the course, and how an umbrella was the final straw. The caddies side, Tosti's side, and a phone call from the Tour that nearly killed the story. https://t.co/sswKmaNudb
A. This was funny and great to see a relaxed side of Scottie. B. Watch the look at 1:07 mark when Scottie looks over at his agent or publicist who is having a heart attack behind the camera and frantically gesturing to get Scottie to stop talking about the arrest.* *this is a guess, but to me what is likely happening
Ryan French and Mark Baldwin talk about Ciganda's comments and getting revenge on Kupcho; Europe winning the Solheim Cup; a former teacher getting in contention at Champions Tour; results from Korn Ferry Tour, Epson Tour and DP World Tour; and Monday Q's upcoming week at The Golf Party.
Tomorrow there could be one of the most unlikely @ChampionsTour winners ever. Monday Q Jay Jurecic is tied for the lead with Zach Johnson headed into the final round. Jurecic was a school teacher for decades in a tiny little town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He didn't play high school golf or college golf and didn't even attempt the game until he was 18. He became good relative quickly but teaching and the fact he lived in UP of Michigan aren't conducive to getting better. Yet somehow he did…and then some. In fact he would spend his summers on the Dakotas Tour playing mini-tour events. And he had a win and numerous good finishes. When he turned 50 in 2021 he resigned from teaching and started chasing the Champions Tour. But he's only qualified for 3 events in five years. Between those events he played wherever he could. The guy is a true grinder. Last season he won the Michigan Tournament of Champions, most the players were 30 years younger than him. He did it by making eagle on the last hole when his 3-wood from 260 hit the flag and be tapped I'm for eagle to tie for the lead. He then won in a playoff. Tomorrow a former teacher from a tiny town in the UP of Michigan, who didn't play high school or college golf, and in just his 4th ever Champions event will tee off tied for the lead. If that doesnt make you love Monday Qs, well I can't help you.

I spoke with Robert Garrigus who was telling me some funny tales of caddie/player explosions in the middle of the round and told me about this one. Truly was crying I was laughing so hard. https://t.co/dPXl4wCE70
