ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Carlos Tevez is no stranger to the golf course — he spent a lot of time on one while on a
five-month strike from Manchester City last season. Multimedia Photoview all

round he had on Sunday was one he'll never forget. On a glorious morning at
Royal Lytham & St. Annes, the Argentina striker caddied for countryman
Andres Romero in the final round of the British Open. This was no pro-am. This
was golf's oldest and most famous tournament. "The chance to walk along
the course and be around these great players is a pleasure and something
unforgettable," Tevez said. After Romero shot a 77 in his third round
Saturday to drop out of contention for the title, Tevez visited the house of
the No. 109-ranked player and asked if he could carry his bag in the fourth
round. They've been friends since meeting at the 2008 British Open at Royal
Birkdale. Romero agreed to give regular caddie Anibal Nunez the day off and set
out with Tevez in the fifth grouping of the morning, along with Chad Campbell
of the United States. Wearing a blue cap and top — and carrying a set of clubs
almost as big as him — Tevez acted as a shoulder to cry on for Romero, who shot
a 12-over 82 to slump to dead last in the remaining field of 83, finishing at
18 over par. "I couldn't give any advice about the slopes, but I just
carried the bag and supported him each hole," Tevez said. "Andres is
a professional and he knows everything already. "We worked together very
well." The 28-year-old Tevez was photographed numerous times on the golf
course when he was on unauthorized leave from City last season, having fallen
out with manager Roberto Mancini after refusing to warm up as a substitute
during a Champions League match in September. When he did return to action with
the English Premier League club, he helped them win the title for the first
time in 44 years. After scoring a goal in a 6-1 victory at Norwich, he
celebrated by swinging an imaginary golf club. Tevez is a 13 handicap and has
played with Romero before in Buenos Aires. But he has never carried such a
heavy bag. And has no plans to attempt to become a professional golfer after he
retires from soccer. "No, I play just with my friends as an amateur.
