J.J. Spaun, who won the U.S. Open on Sunday in soggy Oakmont, Penn., on a long and dramatic 18th-hole putt, has a former Wellesley man to thank in part for his success.
Caddie Mark Carens grew up in Wellesley and starred as a high school player before becoming a caddy in the early 2000’s. He has caddied for professional golfers such as Bubba Watson and Si Woo Kim.
And now the U.S. Open champ.
Spaun earlier this year finished second at The Players Championship.
