John Downing

John Downing met Alfred "Rabbit" Dyer at the 1977 US Open and asked him for his autograph. Little did he know that thirty-six years later John would meet Rabbit again, after Rabbit retired from caddying from Gary Player over twenty years. Rabbit remembered John and asked him to write his life story, The Last of the Big Three Caddies. Rabbit is one of the most legendary caddies in golf history, the first to caddie all four majors and the first black to caddie and win the British Open.
