LEXI THOMPSON'S former caddie Kevin McAlpine has passed away aged 39.<\/p>\n

The sudden death was confirmed by his father Hamish, who is a former Scottish footballer.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

McAlpine was in the United States when he died.<\/p>\n

Hamish said to The Courier: "We are completely in the dark about what has happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"It is true that he has been unwell but we believed he was on the mend.<\/p>\n

"There is to be an autopsy and at the moment there is very little we can say. <\/p>\n

"We really don't want to talk about this at this stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"As a family we are completely devastated. You can imagine how we are feeling."<\/p>\n

McAlpine was an amateur golf champion before going into caddying.<\/p>\n

He was married to three-time major winner Anna Nordqvist with the couple going through divorce proceedings since August.<\/p>\n

She suffered a four-shot penalty due to a ball placement error and went on to lose the major.<\/p>\n

McAlpine also caddied for Amy Yang and Martin Laird in his career.<\/p>\n
