Caddie Austin Gaugert is on the move once again.
The 36-year-old gained notoriety last month at the PGA Championship when his golfer, Garrick Higgo, was late for his opening tee time and received a two-stroke penalty. Higgo went on to miss the cut by one stroke and the duo parted shortly there after, leaving Gaugert without a bag to carry.
Two weeks later, he started carrying the bag for Dylan Wu, whom he previously caddied for, but now has a new bag for the U.S. Open, which tees off in two days.

Gaugert will be picking up the bag for Patrick Rodgers, who is in the midst of one of his better seasons on the PGA Tour, according to a report from Golfweek.
"Rodgers is enjoying one of if not his best season of his 12-year career but opted to part ways with veteran caddie Bill Harke, who did a stint last season with Max Homa before teaming with Rodgers," Golfweek wrote.
Rodgers and Gaugert were college teammates at Valparaiso and have worked together in the past, which allows for the pair to start work together again just days before the third major championship of the year.
Rodgers has finished third at the Sony Open in Hawaii and tied for sixth at the Players while making 15 cuts in 18 starts this season. He'll tee off alongside Keith Mitchell and Graeme McDowell at 7:19 a.m. ET on Thursday morning.
