Tosti was playing the 18th hole, his ninth of the day, when caddie Cliff Ellis dropped the bag, took off his caddie bib and walked off, according to a source that was at the tournament.

When reached via text for comment, Tosti cracked, “He couldn’t keep up with eight pars in a row,” a reference to the start of his round and added three sideways laughing emojis, the tilted yellow face laughing hard with tears streaming down.

According to a source on the scene, Tosti and Ellis were already at odds on Tuesday during a practice round. But Tosti was blindsided by his mid-round departure. He was under the impression his caddie was using a bathroom short of the 18th green and went to the first tee, but his caddie had said no mas.
