Maybe it’s just me. But watching the late-night Golf Channel replay of Paula Creamer’s clutch charge win in the Fields Open, it sure seemed like her caddie for the week was way more into those post-victory hugs than Creamer was.

This guy couldn’t get enough Creamer. He held on for a long, long time on the first one, went in for a second one later, even feinted like he would try for a third - while Creamer’s smile seemed to say, all right, enough dude. Down. Not that you can completely blame the guy. It is Paula Creamer. But a little decorum man. Isn’t your cut of the winner’s check enough?

Now again, maybe I read it wrong (doubtful with my powers of observation even a six-hour flight away, but you never know - even Sherlock got it wrong sometimes). It didn’t look like it was the same caddie Creamer had when I interviewed her - and her caddie - at the LPGA Championship last summer either. A lot of players use a local caddie when they’re in Hawaii, rather than flying out their own.

If that’s the case here, whoa guy, insert tongue back in mouth.

With Creamer’s fifth LPGA win and another dismal showing from Michelle Wie, that guy who wrote Paula Creamer better than Michelle Wie now, will always be better than Michelle Wie back on July 24, 2005 - during the very height of Wie Warrior mania - sure looks like a genius though, huh?

Think that’s worth a Creamer hug?

I’m a gentleman too. Unlike apparently some caddies.
