A local caddie nicknamed "El Tucan" filled in as a last-second replacement for Matt Kuchar over the weekend, and earned an impressive payday in the process.

Matt Kuchar won his first tournament in four years over the weekend, taking home the Mayakoba Golf Classic.
Kuchar earned the win with the help of caddie David Giral Ortiz, who filled in for Kuchar's regular caddie after he was unable to attend the tournament.
With Kuchar taking home the tournament's top prize, Ortiz walked away from the weekend with quite a payday.

Matt Kuchar won his first tournament in four years on Sunday, taking the Mayakoba Golf Classic by one stroke over Danny Lee.

Kuchar shot an astounding 22-under over four days in Mexico, earning his first win since the 2014 Heritage Classic.
