Russell said he viewed the arrangement as a fitting Father's Day present. His father, Joe Russell, stepped in to carry the bag for the closing hole. Video footage captured the pair walking up the 18th fairway together.
Russell's even-par total came on a course known for its difficulty during major championship play. The teenager had already completed 17 holes before the switch occurred.
