Persistence pays off. Just ask this super fan of Sergio Garcia.
After tweeting the 37-year-old Spaniard every day for 206 days straight, Mark Johnson finally got his reward: a day caddying for Garcia.
It all started back on July 7, 2016 with the tweet below.
@TheSergioGarcia you're my number one golfer please can I caddie for you when your caddie can't make it cheers 🏌👍
— Mark Johnson (@markjohno6969) July 7, 2016
Every day since, Johnson, who says in his Twitter bio he has ‘good and bad days on the golf course’, tweeted Garcia, with a selection of his best ones below.

After more than 200 days, Mark was on the verge of giving up…
