Incredible Persistence Pays Off For Tweeting Sergio Garcia Fan

Sometimes it pays to be persistent, as dedicated Sergio Garcia fan Mark Johnson has discovered after an effort that began in July. Having spent 206 consecutive days tweeting the Spaniard a barrage of comments and random observations, all concluding with the hashtag #LetMeCaddieForYou, the Ryder Cup legend finally broke his silence, granting the 40-year-old father of two a cherished opportunity to caddie for him in the pro-am of the British Masters this September.

Ok @markjohno6969 I think I found the perfect day for you to get a taste of carrying my bag & make your dream come true! Are you ready? ????

Incredible perseverance, which began last summer ahead of the Open Championship at June. Here are just a few of Mark's highlights, featuring an array of obscure remarks that must have amused and confused the former Players champion.

Quite a story and a lovely gesture from Sergio, and we can be sure that the day will be documented on Twitter. In fact, there is a strong possibility that Mark will mention it for at least another 206 days.
