Franklin, Tenn. ? Singer Vince Gill, who serves as co-host of the Franklin American Mortgage Championship with his wife, singer Amy Grant, paid off on a promise to LPGA rookie Brandi Jackson Thursday by carrying her bag. He told her after a concert that he would be her caddie if she ever made the LPGA Tour, and Jackson’s father reminded him of his commitment this week.

Jackson shot a 3-over 75 in the first round.
