Geno Bonnalie, the caddy of golf star Joel Dahmen, put his skills to the test after mocking Noah Lyles’ performance at the Paris Olympics.
The 40-year-old usually spends his weeks playing 72 holes with the clubs of the world number 186.
This week, Dahmen and Bonnalie are competing in the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina, but when the first round was postponed by a tropical storm, they found other ways to entertain themselves.
On Thursday afternoon in Paris, Lyles failed in his attempt to complete the 100-200 meter double at the Olympic Games, taking the bronze medal in the 200 meter final.
After the race, the Team USA star, who later announced he had COVID, required medical attention on the track.

“Noah Lyles… Oh, my lungs hurt after running 200 meters and I’m the best in the world!” Bonnalie said in a video posted on social media.
Dahmen then challenged his caddy to prove how fast he could run 200 m. “I have an over/under time of 32 seconds,” said the golfer, to which Bonnalie replied, “That’s probably close.”
When the storm briefly abated, they set off, with Dahmen filming Bonnalie running his own race.
“I haven’t run 200 meters in one go since high school,” joked the caddy. But they even built a curve into the road to imitate Lyles and Co. in Paris.
Dahmen drove alongside his Caddy, which accelerated to 21 km/h and finally crossed the finish line after 34 seconds before collapsing to the ground.
“I felt like my breasts were dangling back and forth,” Bonnalie said. “Maybe I’ll have a salad for dinner… I need a banana to stop the cramps.”
