PGA Tour caddie mocks Noah Lyles during weather delay at Wyndham Championship
PGA Tour golfer Joel Dahmen and his caddie Geno Bonnalie appeared to be very bored during the weather delay at the Wyndham Championship.
PGA Tour golfer Joel Dahmen and his caddie Geno Bonnalie did exactly what you expect them to do during the weather delay at the Wyndham Championship.
If you're unfamiliar with the duo, they shot to fame two years ago when the first season of the Netflix documentary Full Swing aired.
Dahmen, in particular, was one of the most popular golfers in the show given his willingness to embrace the fact he'll never be a superstar.
"Somebody's got to be the 70th-best golfer in the world," he said. "It might as well be me."
What drew fans to Dahmen was the fact he battled back from cancer not long after his mother died from the same disease.
During the show, we also learned more about how his relationship with Bonnalie was established.
Bonnalie always believed Dahmen could make it to the PGA Tour and applied for the job of his caddie on a piece of scrap paper.
He was willing to quit his own job to help Dahmen pursue golf.
And if you didn't know, he is quite a character.
He documents his life as a PGA Tour caddie on his Instagram page which you can find here.
Dahmen and Bonnalie are in North Carolina this week for the final event of the regular season.
Play was delayed because of Tropical Storm Debby.
So what did Dahmen and Bonnalie do?
Goof around, of course.
They decided to see how fast Bonnalie could run the 200m after they watched US sprinter Noah Lyles come up short of a sprint double in Paris.
"Oh my lungs hurt after running 200m and I'm the best in the world," Bonnalie said in a video posted to the social media platform, mocking Lyles.
Lyles revealed after he got the bronze medal and was taken out of the stadium on a wheelchair at the conclusion of the race that he tested positive for COVID.
The 27-year-old also claimed the 100m title and was attempting to become the first man since Usain Bolt to complete an individual Olympic sprint double.
Dahmen set the over/under at 32 seconds for Bonnalie.
"That's probably close," Bonnalie said.
Bonnalie's effort was valiant and he reached a top speed of 13mph.
A gassed Bonnalie eventually posted a time of 34 seconds.
"I felt like my boobs were flopping," an exhausted Bonnalie said, lying on the road.
"It's about where I should have been. I feel like I need a banana to make the cramping stop."
