Paula played great golf this week at the Mitchell Co Tournament of Champions in Mobile, AL.
Creamer faced and frustrated a formidable field of all the top female golfers. She took a commanding lead in the second round and finished at 20 under, 8 shots ahead of Birdie Kim and 10 shots ahead of the third place winners Annika Sorenstam, Pat Hurst and Natalie Gulbis. With this win, she moves up to 3rd on the LPGA money list behind Lorena Ochoa and Suzann Petterson (who finished 9 and T6, respectively). I was surprised to find out she only won $150,000 for her efforts. Meanwhile, Phil Mickelson flounders and shoots a 76, but recovers to win in a dramatic playoff in a field with few recognizable names. Lefty’s prize? $833,000. Hrmph.
The pink panther, possibly the cutest golfer on the LPGA tour, will take some serious momentum into next week’s ADT championship with its $1 million first place paycheck.
She has quite a fan following, and I wonder if the t-shirt scorers will head over to Florida to watch her play there. You know, the three grown men in pink t-shirts on which they kept her scores, tracked her birdies and professed their undying devotion? Nah, traveling across state lines would probably be too over-the-edge.
Congrats to the fuzzy pink kitty-kat and good luck next week. Now that you’ve won with that silly pink ball, can you put it away please?
