SERVES HIM RIGHT FOR TITLE NINING:

Top U.S. golfer left looking for an emergency caddy at the Open after his blonde wife decides the weather is well below par (Liz Hull, 17th July 2008, Daily Mail)
Whatever the reason for her absence, her 48-year-old husband had a face as black and thunderous as the skies when he stepped on to the first tee to begin his round at around 7.30am.

The American, whose wife is his regular caddy, was forced to find an emergency replacement at the 11th hour to take over her duties instead.

A source at the course said: 'The weather was awful and many commentators were joking that Brenda had simply refused to go out in the wind and rain.

'Rumours were rife that they'd had a furious row about it.

'Calcavecchia had a face like thunder when he arrived at the first tee.

'Brenda usually caddys for him and did so during his practice session on Wednesday. But when it came to playing the real thing yesterday she failed to show and he had to find a local lad to replace her.

'He can't have been to happy about it, the new caddy would have no idea of his game.
