Taiwanese star Pan, 32, watched veteran caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowan put himself out of action when he slipped and fell while walking down a hill on the third hole.

The unorthodox move is within PGA rules, but still left commentators somewhat surprised.
One of the broadcasters said: "They actually brought in a random person from the gallery."
While another praised Emerson, adding: "What a nice man to help out and what an honour for him as well."
Emerson performed the duties for two holes, before a member of the caddie services team took over on the fifth.
They were then replaced by Paul Barjonâs caddie Al Riddell on the 10th hole.
