Dustin Johnson hires back his old caddy Brown

JUPITER, Fla. -- Dustin Johnson has hired a new caddie -- his old one.

Johnson said Tuesday that he has rehired Bobby Brown, who was on his bag for four of his five PGA Tour wins. Brown also was at his side when Johnson shot 82 in the final round of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, and when Johnson was given a two-shot penalty in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits for not realizing he was in a bunker.

Johnson fired Brown in the spring and hired Joe LaCava, who then left Johnson in October to work for Tiger Woods.

Johnson, who is recovering from minor knee surgery, says he's expecting a big season next year. Brown says he and Johnson have remained friends and he's happy for another chance.

Dustin Johnson has knee surgery, out until January

JUPITER, Fla. -- Dustin Johnson had surgery Tuesday to repair cartilage in his right knee. He is expected to be out of competition until sometime in January.

Johnson won The Barclays in August to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 1999 to win in each of his first four years on the PGA Tour straight out of college. He has five career wins.

His agent, David Winkle at Hambric Sports, says Johnson has been feeling pain since July, when he was a runner-up to Darren Clarke in the British Open. Johnson is expected to be crutches for a week, then resume chipping and putting. He should be at full speed by the end of December before returning to golf.

It was not clear if he would be able to play the Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, which starts Jan. 6.
