The statement read:
Orlando Lencina, a caddie from Buenos Aires, Argentina, working at this week’s PGA Tour Latinoamerica Qualifying Tournament at Club Campos de Golf Las Praderas de Lujan, died in a motorcycle crash in the Buenos Aires suburb of Lujan on Monday night. Lencina caddied earlier in the day for Panamanian golfer Michael Mendez and was scheduled to work for Mendez Tuesday morning during Mendez’s first round. Lencina was 53.
PGA Tour Latinoamerica Executive Director Todd Rhinehart and the entire Tour staff offer its sincerest sympathy to the Lencina family.
This is the third in a string of tragic caddie deaths on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in the last five months.
Olguin collapsed on the ninth tee box, which was Torres’ final hole of the day and was pronounced dead an hour later.
In June, Colombian caddie Jose Edgar Preciado suffered a fatal heart attack at his hotel after the second round of the Holcim Colombia Classic in Bucaramanga, Colombia.
Has an investigation been conducted to see if any of these deaths are related to the Covid-19 vaccinations? These deaths are such a tragedy and I hope there are not even more.
Huh?
