Capps Aims for PGA Tour as West Virginia Pro Caddie
Billy Capps, golf pro at Black Knight, trains for the National PGA next month by entering as many West Virginia tournaments as possible to gain distance experience. He notes distance will be a challenge on the PGA, but he has recently won low pro honors at Big Bend near St. Albans with a 67, and posted 66 at Fairmont and 70 and 67 at Parkersburg and Huntington. He is wary of sub par scores and hopes to reach the finals and money on the PGA tour.
