It only took 206 days, but Mark Johnson got his wish and will caddie for Sergio Garcia.
Johnson was relentless, starting the hashtag #Letmecaddieforyou back in July in hopes of walking around the course with Garcia as his caddie, which included some funny social media posts.
Good morning @TheSergioGarcia another great effort good form going into the PGA 👍 #letmecaddieforyou #Day12

The Spaniard, who's won 11 times on the European Tour finally responded and will allow Johnson to caddie during the Wednesday pro-am at the British Masters in September.
Ok @markjohno6969 I think I found the perfect day for you to get a taste of carrying my bag & make your dream come true! Are you ready? 😉
