Maybe Wie just needs a new caddie ? :-)

Since we all know it's never the player's fault, maybe Michelle Wie would be able to get into the winner's circle with a new caddy - one who can count a little better than the other...however many she's buried in the back yard...I lose track sometimes.

She's proven that she is better than most of the LPGA Tour, at least talent-wise.  However, she has only shown that she might be close to winning her first tournament once this year.  And that was very early in the season when she made up a few shots against Angela Stanford...then gave them back over the first four holes of the back 9 on Sunday. (If she hadn't been playing with the pros for 6 years, 3 as an actual pro - I might have called it "rookie nerves")

So back to the point.  Most of the rest of the season, she started slow, backed up, then put on a furious rush into the top 10 on Sunday - giving the impression that she was playing better than she actually was.  Sort of like one of us hackers who, after making one of our flailing swings, adjusts to a perfect finishing position for the cameras, but not making the shot we were looking for.

What would a new caddy potentially do for Wie ?  Simple.  His additional job would be to catch Wie on Friday and Saturday and remind her that falling 6 to 10 shots behind the leader (depending on the course and the leader) is too much to make up on Sunday.  If she'll stay within 3 or 4 shots and THEN put on that big Sunday rush, she'll start winning and really build some excitement since we all love seeing someone come from behind to win - especially if they are a fan favorite.

How does this sound for some caddy advice ?  "Hey...Stanford...(not Angela - the school Wie is pretending to attend)...need a little help with that adding and subracting ?  You're falling way behind again."  No ?
