The Washington Post has an article on Paula Creamer and her life on the LPGA Tour.

Creamer made a big splash on tour last year when:

she made a 17-foot putt on the final hole to win the Sybase Classic in New Rochelle, N.Y. and became the youngest winner of a multi-round tournament in LPGA history. Two months later, she won the Evian Masters in France by eight shots, becoming the youngest woman to reach $1 million in LPGA career earnings. She finished a spectacular season by leading the U.S. to victory over Europe in the Solheim Cup last fall, posting the best record (3-1-1) and drubbing English veteran Laura Davies, 7 and 5, in singles. She shot a 30 on the front nine and had seven birdies in 12 holes, both Solheim records.

She hasn’t won yet this year, but is 13th on the money list, with five top 15 finishes. She hasn’t missed a cut in eight starts. She won $1.53 million in her first tour season.

As the world’s number two women’s player, its only a matter of time until she wins again.

Ridiculous Item of the Week

Golf Cart Cookie Jar

It turns out that golf IS rocket science. Or at least aircraft science.

Michelle Wie has fallen completely out of the latest Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings—not because of her play, but because she has played in fewer than 15 events during the current points cycle.

There was the suspicion that the 15 events originally was set to allow Wie to appear in the initial rankings. The men’s world rankings require a minimum of 40 events.

The current top ten in the Rolex Women’s Golf Rankings are: Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, Lorena Ochoa, Yuri Fudoh, Christie Kerr, Julie Inkster, Karrie Webb, Ai Miyazoto, Jeong Jang and He-Won Han.

The surprise of the year thus far has to be Lorena Ochoa.

Weird Golf Story

A Bank Robber in Maryland says that he robbed banks because he needed the money to play golf.

He should have moved to Michigan. The greens fees are much more reasonable here.
