Microphones captured a fascinating and testy exchange between Kevin Na and his caddie, Kenny Harms, on Na’s final hole of the first round of the Fort Worth Invitational on Thursday.
Na was in the right rough, 185 yards from the ninth green, which was guarded by water. He vacillated between a hybrid and an iron, but with either club he would have to hit “a 40-yard cut,” as Harms termed it.
“Over the green’s dead,” Harms warned.

“It’s not gonna go over the green, Kenny,” Na replied.
Na finally settled on an iron and said to Harms, “As long as you’re OK with this club.”
“I’m not,” Harms replied. “I’m not OK with either one of them.”
“I’m going with this,” Na ended the discussion.
He missed the green with his approach shot, but avoided the water. After taking a free drop away from the grandstand, he had 92 feet 3 inches to the cup and of course, holed the pitch shot for a birdie-3, a 62 and a one-shot lead at the end of the first round.
