"That's the reason why I got a local caddie," Dawson said. Dawson qualified for Royal Troon by winning the Senior Open at Sunningdale last year. The caddie, Billy Ciplinski out of the nearby golf club at Prestwick, was taken to a medical center at Royal Troon and then onto a hospital. Marco Dawson's first British Open is proving to be an eventful one. "I've never seen anyone get hit by a ball like that," Dawson said Wednesday.
