Wie hires new caddie
Michelle Wie hired Andrew Lano II to carry her bag for the next two events, Golfweek Magazine reported yesterday. Lano, who caddied for Kenny Perry for much of the past 20 years, will be on Wie's bag for the European Tour's Omega European Masters, Sept. 7-10, and for the PGA Tour's 84 Lumber Classic (Sept. 14-17). Lano applied for the job and went through an interview process with Team Wie, which included Michelle's father, B.J. Wie, and her agent Ross Berlin.
