Bones Shedding Headset For A Bib...For A Week

Longtime-looper-to-Phil-Mickelson-turned-on-course-reporter Jim McKay will take Justin Thomas's bag at next week's Sony Open, reports Todd Lewis.

Jim “Bones” Mackay back on the bag of a world class player. Bones will caddy next week at @SonyOpenHawaii for @JustinThomas34 whose regular caddy, Jimmy Johnson is out with Plantar Fasciitis. Bones said “I think the world of Justin and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Thomas's regular caddie is battling plantar fasciitas and was substituted for during Saturday's Sentry Tournament of Champions third round. Thomas is defending champion at the Sony. This will be Bones' first luggage-toting gig since last year with Phil Mickelson before turning to a role with NBC/Golf Channel.
