WAG WATCH! Rickie Fowler's bikini model caddy

Cape Town - Rickie Fowler took to Instagram to thank his bikini model girlfriend Alexis Randock for caddying for him at the Masters Par-3 Contest at Augusta National.

Fowler may have been distracted - as we were! - when he opened with a 1-over par 73 in the first round to lie tied for 41st.

Fowler posted this picture on Instagram:

Playing the Masters was always a dream of mine growing up so being able to share the week with my girlfriend @alexis.randock, family, and friends is an incredible feeling!! Augusta is a special place and it was the perfect way to start the week off by having Alexis caddy for me in the Par 3 Contest????
