    Hondo, who the f--- cares if he spells well or not. That was funny.

    Johnson was the 10th caddie Wie has gone through since 2003. That's absurd.

    Even more absurd is the fact that she (or her father, really) keeps blaming these rules violations on her caddies. Yes, caddies are there to help players with the rules, and with decisions, but ultimately it's the players job to know the rules.

    Here is E.M. Swift's take from SI.com:

    Nine years from now when she is 25, there are going to be a lot of "What could have been" stories written about Michelle.

    This ain't right.

    Paging Jennifer Capriati, Jennifer Capriati please pick up the white courtesy phone...

    Does that mean 2-3 years from now, someone will find young Michelle in a seedy motel, gothed-out, and smoking rock?

    Perhaps she needs a caddy who can help her make the cut on the PGA Tour.

    Um, Capriati actually salvaged her life and her career, winning all three of her Grand Slam titles and reaching No. 1 in the world rankings after everyone assumed she was finished.

    You want a what-could-have-been story? Tracy Austin.
