Whos your caddie?

A case study on the incestuous lives of PGA caddies:

Camilo Villegas, who has emerged as one of the top players in golf, found himself without a regular caddie after his looper decided to leave him to work part-time for Sergio Garcia.

Just don’t get the idea he will be at a disadvantage at the US Open.

Villegas played in a charity event the Monday after The Players Championship with Fred Couples, who will not be at Bethpage and thus offered the services of his caddie – Joe LaCava, one of the best in the business.

LaCava also works with Davis Love III and walked 36 holes at a U.S. Open qualifier Monday. Now he gets two straight weeks, the St. Jude Classic and U.S. Open, with the 27-year-old Colombian. Why not just take a week off?

“Let me ask you a question,” LaCava replied. “Would you want a week off when you could work for this kid?”
