Kevin McAlpine, Lexi Thompson's former caddie, dies at 39
Kevin McAlpine, Lexi Thompson's former caddie and Anna Nordqvist's ex-husband, died suddenly at 39.
“We can confirm that Kevin has passed away in America," Hamish McAlpine, Kevin's father, told The Courier. "We are completely in the dark about what has happened. It is true that he has been unwell but we believed he was on the mend.
“There is to be an autopsy and at the moment there is very little we can say. We really don’t want to talk about this at this stage. As a family we are completely devastated. You can imagine how we are feeling.”
According to Bunkered, Nordqvist withdrew from the LPGA's BMW Ladies Championship in Korea to travel back to the United States.
