Adam Scott to use local caddie at Shinnecock for U.S. Open

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) Six days after Adam Scott qualified for the U.S. Open, he showed up at Shinnecock Hills with a new caddie.

Scott has parted way with David Clark and is using a club caddie he has used before at Shinnecock. Lenny Bummolo was with Scott when he set the course record at Shinnecock Hills with a 63 from the championship tees.

Scott says there's never a good time to split with a caddie, and he had no reservations about turning to Bummolo. He says Bummolo knows the course as well as anyone and there will be a premium on reading the greens this week.

Scott also has reunited with brother-in-law Brad Malone as his swing coach. He says they've been in touch the last few weeks.
