Anyone know if it's true that Colin Byrne has left noren and is now caddying for Edoardo Molinari?

Good move for Byrne, Molinari is very consistent.
I actually remember his old caddy cause he looked about 4ft and 8st when I saw him on TV.

Judging by the article, it very much seems that Colin Byrne left Noren (not that it's really important). For someone normally so restrained and careful not to criticise, he sounds pretty frustrated with Noren.
"Technique is unfortunately where my last partnership ran aground. The need for technical excellence became greater than the aptitude required for scoring."
and......

"I am very much in situ for the Bridgestone International in Ohio with a great new player, who more importantly, understands how to play the game of golf."

Hopefully it works out for him, Molinari's been playing great lately.

I'd still recommend checking out Alex Noren's website (alexnoren.com) still, he's got video of him playing a flop shot with a 5-iron!

Interesting/surprising to see him openly criticise a player like that. However Byrne is a top class caddy and has seen it all before, Noren, for all the promise he's shown has delivered very little.

Fair play to Byrne for moving.

Wasn't aware of that - he came across very well in the documentary. Best of luck to Colin. I'm enjoying reading his 2nd book at present, and will now be rooting for Molinari E on Ryder Cup duty. Think that might be Colin's caddying first experience of the Ryder Cup ???
