LOS ANGELES: Six years ago, Lanto Griffin had less US$200 in his bank account, so he decided to caddie for his friend and fellow pro golfer Willy Wilcox.
"I just knew that even if I made bogey I would still have a job out here next year," said Griffin, of Mount Shasta, California."I am so proud of the way I hung in there." He told his mother, Julie, that he would buy her a new car if he won this week - and after earning US$1.3 million in first-place prize money, he will make good on that promise."There's too many people . My entire team," said Griffin, who lost his father when he was 12 to brain cancer and likes to say it took an entire village to raise him.
