She Got a Better Score Than Every Man in the Group and They Still Only Talked About Her Outfit
Here’s one that’s going to sting a little: Kezia, 27, a caddie at Willow Creek in Atlanta who also plays scratch golf and competed at the collegiate level at Georgia Tech, shot a casual 71 on her day off — four under — on the same course where she caddies for men who routinely card 103 and blame the wind. She once, for sport, played alongside a foursome she was supposed to be caddying for and outdrove every single one of them by 30 yards minimum. (The loudest guy in the group — Greg, definitely a Greg — nodded slowly and said “nice swing” in the tone of a man reassessing several life choices at once.) The membership gave her a standing invitation to play on Tuesdays. The Tuesday group now has a six-man waitlist. Funny how that works.
The Viral TikTok Was Just Her Reading a Yardage. The Internet Disagreed.
Nobody at Sunset Ridge in Scottsdale expected the fifteen-second clip of Mei — 24, a caddie and aspiring course designer who grew up in Hong Kong before moving stateside for college — reading yardage into a rangefinder to get 4.3 million views in 72 hours. She was just doing her job. Standing sideways. In the afternoon light. Wearing the caddie bib. That was it. That was the whole video. (The account that posted it — a golf influencer with 80K followers — woke up to 300K new followers the next morning and hasn’t stopped posting golf content since.) Mei’s response was to shrug and make a very good point about green-reading software during an interview she did with GolfWeek. The comments on that article were a disaster. The yardage she gave, for the record, was perfect.
