Tennis star dons golf apparel and heads to the golf course as a caddy.

Published: 16 September 2009

Former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek has made his first appearance as a caddy, when he donned his golf apparel to carry the golf accessories of Wil Besseling.

Dutch player Besseling was playing in the last round of the Dutch Futures tournament, which forms part of the European Challenge Tour.

Commenting on his move from the tennis court to the golf course, Mr Krajicek said: "I appreciate there is a difference between tennis and golf, but both are individual games and I help him in terms of the mental side and handling the pressure."

He went on to quip that he offered advice on how 23-year-old Besseling could improve his shots, but that his tips were ignored.

Besseling is currently ranked as the 354th best golfer in the world and has been managed by Krajicek for the past two golfing seasons.

He finished this weekend's play with £620 prize money after taking an eighth-way share of 45th place.
