CADDIE Iain McGregor died from a suspected heart
attack at the Madeira Islands Open on Sunday, prompting anger that the
event was not called off as a mark of respect.
Zimbabwe-born McGregor, 52, who was caddying for Scotland’s Alastair Forsyth, collapsed on the ninth hole at the Clube de Golf do Santo da Serra.
The decision to continue playing the event, which had been reduced to 36 holes after three days ruined by heavy fog, was criticized by players. “Cant believe they are going to keep playing in Madeira... Life is more important than golf...#RIPmac,” tweeted Spain’s Pablo Larrazaba
