《Wie fires her caddie on her way home from the Women's British Open》 Veteran caddie Greg Johnston began working for the 16-year-old when she made her professional debut last October. 08.08.2006 07:21 pm (ET) PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Michelle Wie didn't make it through her first year as a professional without firing her caddie, getting rid of Greg Johnston after a tie for 26th in the Weetavbix Women's British Open. Johnston began working for the 16-year-old from Hawaii when she made her pro debut last October in the Samsung World Championship, where Wie was disquali -fied over an illegal drop in the third round. Wie had finished no worse than a tie for fifth in her first six LPGA Tour ev- ents this year, including three majors. She failed to break par in any of her four rounds at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and the tie for 26th was her worst finish on the LPGA Tour in two years. A public relations firm in New York released a statement from the family that said Johnson's departure "comes as part of Michelle's maturation as a golfer, part of which is learning from many different bright golf minds." Johnston did not immediately return a message left on his cell phone. The Wie family was on their way home from England and could not be reached for comment. Golf World magazine reported on its Web site that Wie's agent told Johnston at the airport Monday in Manchester, England, that he had been fired. "I was shocked and surprised. I thought we had a successful year," Johnston said. "And I was extremely disappointed that no one named 'Wie' gave me the news." Johnston previously caddied 12 years for Juli Inkster and was on the bag when she won four of her majors and qualifed for the World Golf Hall of Fame. Wie also used prominent PGA Tour caddies such as Fanny Sunesson, Mike "Fluff" Cowan and Jimmie Johnson while she was an amateur. She is not scheduled to play again until Sept. 7-10 at the Omega European Masters in Switzerland, a men's event on the European Tour. She also is scheduled to play the 84 Lumber Classic the following week on the PGA Tour, which will be her sixth attempt to become the first woman since Babe Zaharias in 1945 to make the cut on the PGA Tour. 大意就是魏圣美在经过英国公开赛难得的烂成绩之後 觉得杆弟得负点责任 於是在无预警之下 经纪人把杆弟辞掉了 并在接下来仍将挑战男子巡回赛 (英巡赛 9/7～9/10 http://www.omegaeuropeanmasters.com/fr/) 然後再寻求接下来PGA比赛里面第一个晋级的女子选手 (美巡赛 9/11～9/17 http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/r474) 原文: http://www.pga.com/news/tours/lpga/wiecaddie080806.cfm -- 眉批:令人傻眼 --
