Sport Book Service | The Masters 2017: Webb Simpsons wife Dowd carries his bag at Augusta after caddie is delayed by storm

WEBB SIMPSON must have been fearing the worst when the Augusta tornado warning scared off his caddie.

Paul Tesori usuallyassists the American but it is believed he hasbeen held up due to the severe weather conditions.

But one person who stands by Webb through thick and thin (or thunder and lightning) is stunning wife Dowd.

Devoted mum-of-two Dowd hauled on a white uniform and caddied for her husband during a practise round of the tournament.

Webb, 31, failed to make much of an impression during last year's Masters when he finished 29th with a score of seven over par.

But he has certainly been turning heads this time round, albeit with the help of his striking other-half.

Dowd, who placed in the "Most Beautiful Women In Golf", met Webb in college in North Carolina, and the pair married after a brief separation shortly after.

She told Golf: "Webb and I dated all through college at Wake Forest, then broke up for a year after college, which was a healthy thing for us.

"We didnt even talk [during that time]. Then we got back together, and five months later we were engaged, and five months later, we were married."

Dowd certainly has no qualms about caddying for Webb, having once revealed: "I love watching Webb play and I love walking the golf course and being there for him. He tells me that were a team and [being there] is one way that I can help be a team."
