WELLINGTON (Reuters) - South African caddie Gary Matthews has criticised women's world number one Lydia Ko after being fired by the New Zealander's camp after only nine events.

The ninth caddie in Ko's short playing career, Matthews parted ways with the 19-year-old after the Lotte Championship in Hawaii over the weekend where she finished joint runnerup behind winner Christie Kerr.
