Paula Creamer Ends 4-Year Winless Spell

Paula Creamer Ends 4-Year Winless Spell
Paula Creamer has captured her first win since the 2010 US Women’s Open with a sensational putt during Sunday’s final round of the HSBC Women’s Champions.
 
Going into the last day Creamer was 4-shots behind Karrie Webb, the sole leader of the tournament.  But an epic meltdown during the final six holes saw Webb lose her nerve, carding three bogeys and leaving a straight path for 27-year-old Creamer and Spain’s Azahara Munoz to storm in.
 
With Creamer and Munoz both finishing at 10-under 278 the tournament went into play-off.  But an incredible 75-foot eagle putt on the second hole secured Creamer’s place at the top, ending a 4-year winless spell and earning the American a $1.4 million (USD) purse.
 
“It's one of those putts where if you just get it in the right spot, it's going to fall down,” Creamer said afterwards.  “But I could stand there all day long and putt that and I don't think get it within six, seven feet.”
