The caddies for both Alison Lee and Megan Khang were in a celebratory mood on the golf course on Saturday. Jack Fulghum and Taylor "Shota" Takada took the shirts off at the Solheim Cup after Lee holed out her approach shot at the second hole for Team USA. The celebration was the result of a wager that had been made between Lee and the two caddies.
According to a report by Kay Cockerill on Golf Channel, Fulghum had pitched a wager on the second tee that if either Lee or Khang holed out during their match against Team Europe's duo of Anna Nordqvist and Madelene Sagstrom, the caddies would pay out $500. Lee retorted, saying that they had to take their shirts off if that happened.
The two caddies obliged, saving $500 -- though perhaps not their dignity -- in the process.

Looking to take the Solheim Cup back from Team Europe, Team USA got off to a hot start on the opening day of play by building a 6-2 lead on Friday, then maintained that lead by splitting foursomes on Saturday morning. Team USA is looking for their 11th win in the Cup, as they lead the all-time series 10-7-1.
