Longtime caddie, Rita, fights cancer

Longtime PGA Tour caddie Greg Rita underwent surgery on November 9th to remove part of a brain tumor.  According to his wife, Kelley Rita, he is expected to undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments for the next six months to remove the remaining cancer.  Rita told Golf Week, "I'm going to fight hard for my wife and child."  Two months ago, Rita collapsed on the driving range at the SAS Championship while he was caddying for Scott Hoch.  Rita has caddied for Curtis Strange, John Daly, David Duval, Scott Hoch, and others.
