Watch this PGA Tour caddie go to hilariously extreme lengths to find golf ball

One PGA Tour pro's caddie probably deserves a bit of a raise after he climbed a drink stand to retrieve his player's ball at the Zurich Classic.

PGA Tour pro Brandon Matthews' looper might have just locked up caddie of the year honours after climbing a drink stand to fetch his player's ball at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Matthews, 28, is playing in this week's partner event at TPC Louisiana with Sean O'Hair. The pair were tied for first after round one with a stellar 11-under 61. 

But not without a little help from Matthews' caddie.

During round one's best-ball, the pair were playing some solid golf. But as they tee'd off at the par-5 18th to end their round, things got a little messy. 

Matthews hit a monster drive 325 yards, however, it ended up in what the PGA Tour's TourCast referred to as "unknown."

In an attempt to locate his ball, Matthews' caddie began to climb the drink stand to see if it had landed on top of its roof. 

He can be seen, with the help of a few others, getting up and climbing the side of the stand during the round in a video posted to the PGA Tour's Instagram account:

Matthews spoke to reporters about the situation following his round:

"It was kind of funny, I heard it hit the stand there, and I heard it hit a few different things, so I knew it was there somewhere."

In the end, Matthews didn't have to count his meltdown on 18, despite his caddie's heroic efforts, as O'Hair made birdie for the pair to secure the 61. 

Matthews and O'Hair are set to tee off at 2:39 p.m. GMT Friday for the second round's alternate shot.
