Creamer Triumphs In Oklahoma

Lorena Ochoa was denied her place in history by Paula Creamer’s win at SemGroup Championship in Oklahoma.

The 21 year old, who’s known for her love of pink, sank an eight-foot birdie putt on the second play-off hole to beat Juli Inkster.

Ochoa, who fired a final-round 69, was attempting to win an LPGA-record fifth event in a row but failed to overtake Creamer and Inkster.

After shooting a final-round 72 to finish two under par, Paula twice missed putts at the 18th before holing at the 10th for her sixth LPGA crown.


"It's not easy being me, it is funny though."

"I'm done, I'm mentally done right now," said Creamer.

2007’s ‘Lady Staunch of Staunchness’, Laura Davies, was 12 over despite a round of 69, while Catriona Matthew and Johanna Head finished seven over.

Inkster, at 47 bidding to become the oldest winner in LPGA history, rolled in a dramatic 72nd-hole putt to force the play-off after her final round 70.

But Juli’s push for a 32nd LPGA title - eight of them before Creamer was even born - ended on the third play-off hole as her par was bettered by Creamer's birdie.
