Andrade "stiffs" caddy

Mark "Ziggy" Zyons, a former R.I. State Amateur champ, and Billy Andrade's caddy for at least a decade, was back at work today.

Zyons had day off yesterday because Andrade had a special Father's Day. For the first time ever, Andrade had his son, 13-year old Cameron, caddy for him in an official event as he carried his father's bag for the Pro-Am. Billy used his Wake Forest bag rather than his larger and heavier PGA Tour bag.

John and Helen Andrade, Billy's parents and Cameron's grandparents, made a special trip to RICC to see how their son and grandson were doing yesterday.

"We went to see the last two holes to see how Cameron was doing," John Andrade said on the course today. "He was fine; he did great."

"Cameron was really happy afterwards," Helen Andrade said. "He made $80. Cameron told us the other four players in the group all gave him $20. He said his father didn't give him anything but he knew his father had set the whole thing up."
