Megan Khang's Caddie

In the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, Megan Khang, who was previously caddied by Ohioan Kurt Moskaly, is now partnered with more seasoned bagman Jack Fulghum, who assisted her in achieving her best-ever major finish of joint third.

Fulghum was formerly the caddie for Lexi Thompson, and the public was made aware of his treatment for heat stroke at the Olympics in Tokyo. Fulghum said he felt like passing out, and Thompson suggested he sit down in the shade. He was replaced on Thompson's bag for the last three holes by Team USA captain Donna Wilkins.

For the remainder of the week, Thompson continued using stand-ins, and soon after, the pair formally separated. After working together for several years, Fulghum seemed to have secured a stable position with Khang. At the 2023 CPKC Women's Open, he was Khang's looper in her first win on the LPGA Tour.
