They are always seen, rarely heard and almost never recognised with honours, but last weekend HSBC made a bold and welcome move by staging its first ever awards night for caddies during the HSBC Champions Trophy event at the Sheshan International Club in Shanghai, China.

"Caddies play an integral part in a player's success," said Giles Morgan, the Head of Sports Marketing and Sponsorship at HSBC.

"We wanted to acknowledge the great work that they do and have a bit of fun at the same time - that was the idea behind the awards evening and it was a great success."

The main winner of the evening was Steve Tilston (pictured), who carries for England's Simon Dyson and was voted Caddy of the Year by his peers and the players. He took home the Harry Pithouse Trophy as the award's first winner - named in honour after one of golf's longest serving caddies, who died earlier this year.
