CADDY RODDICK CARRIES HIS WEIGHT Augusta, U.S.A. by ATP Staff | 06.04.2011 http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2011/04/Other/Caddy-Roddick.aspx Andy Roddick made a surprise appearance Wednesday at the Augusta National, donning the familiar uniform of white jumpsuit and green cap as he served as a golf caddy for former Masters winner Zach Johnson at the Par 3 Contest. Johnson hinted at his special guest on his Twitter account in the morning, writing: “Getting ready for a great Wednesday at Augusta. First 9 with @stewartcink and J Byrd...then par 3 with both guys! Surprise caddy today!!!” The pair arrangement was set up by their agents after Roddick expressed interest in being a caddy, and they met for the first time Wednesday at the club. “He’s a Midwest boy, I’m a Midwest boy, and this is the first time he’s here. And he wanted to caddy,” Johnson told USA Today. “I don’t have much family here this year, which is a rare thing, so I said what the heck. I’ve always wanted to meet him. I’m a sports freak in general and I’m a tennis freak, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to meet him.” The 2007 Masters champion even gave his caddy a chance to tee off for him at the ninth hole. A nervous Roddick told the crowd before he took his shot, “ My hands are shaking. I can barely put the tee in the ground.” The 28-year-old American was making his first visit to the Augusta National, and compared the famed site to one he knows well, the All-England Club in Wimbledon. “I see a lot of similarities between the two,” Roddick told AFP. “Places rarely live up to the hype. This place surpasses it.” ***** Tennis and golf: Andy Roddick caddies for Zach Johnson http://ppt.cc/n@94 AUGUSTA, Ga. — Zach Johnson relies on precision and an envied putting stroke during his weekly battles against the best golfers in the world. Johnson, however, had plenty of firepower on his bag on Wednesday. Known for his powerful serve, former world No. 1 and 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick carried Johnson's bag during the Par-3 Tournament at Augusta National on the eve of the 75th Masters. Roddick, the top American tennis player for the past 10 years, met Johnson for the first time Wednesday under the famous Big Oak Tree just outside the clubhouse. The two have mutual friends, and their agents set up the pairing. "He's a Midwest boy, I'm a Midwest boy, and this is the first time he's here. And he wanted to caddie," Johnson said. "I don't have much family here this year, which is a rare thing, so I said what the heck. I've always wanted to meet him. I'm a sports freak in general and I'm a tennis freak, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to meet him." As for the Masters, which begins Thursday, Johnson, who stunned the golf world by holding off Tiger Woods to win the 2007 Masters, said his form is in fine shape and ready. "My game is decent. It feels good. I'm hitting the ball fine and I'm putting the ball fine," said Johnson, who tees off at 12:20 p.m. ET with Miguel Angel Jimenez and Y.E. Yang. "All I have to do is execute right now and not overthink. I have to make sure that I'm not playing for Sunday when I'm playing my first round. "But I feel good. And what's not to like? It's 70 degrees (Wednesday) and the weather is going to be perfect this week. There is minimal wind, it's Augusta National, I have friends with me. It can't get any better." ***** 網球明星羅迪克甘當球童 為約翰遜三桿洞競賽背包 http://news.sina.com.tw/article/20110407/4325530.html 北京時間4月7日，網球明星羅迪克(Andy Roddick)本周第一次參與美國大師賽。這 段經歷是難忘的。2003年美國網球公開賽冠軍星期三為扎克-約翰遜當球童，陪伴他一起 打了三桿洞競賽。他幹得不錯。扎克-約翰遜在第三洞獲得最近球洞獎。 　　“一開始，他給我算碼數算得不錯，可是接下來他累了。”扎克-約翰遜開玩笑道， “我們度過了美好的一天。我在前三個洞抓到了小鳥，從那裡開始，一切都很有趣。” 　　羅迪克的ATP排名下降到了第14位，他是幾年之前開始打高爾夫的。他計劃與幾個朋 友一起來奧古斯塔觀看比賽。接下來他覺得要是能給某個球手當球童一定很好玩。他的一 個朋友是扎克-約翰遜朋友的商業伙伴，因為這個原因兩人建立起了聯繫。 　　奧古斯塔是世界上最著名的高爾夫球場之一。羅迪克表示這讓他想起了溫布爾登。“ 這裡有許多相同的元素，傳統，以及人們在這裡的那份驕傲。”羅迪克說，“這裡肯定有 許多相似之處。” ***** Andy Roddick Plays Golf, Caddies at Masters [Video] http://www.tennis-x.com/xblog/2011-04-07/6746.php by Tom Gainey Tennis champ Andy Roddick made a special appearance yesterday during a exhibition round at the Masters.
