Creamer ends drought in stunning style

Paula Creamer thanked the “man of my dreams” for her return to winning ways as she ended the longest drought of her career in thrilling fashion in Singapore yesterday.

Creamer sank a 75-foot eagle putt on the second playoff hole to win the US$1.4 million HSBC Women’s Champions, her ninth victory but the first since the 2010 US Women’s Open. Boosted by her pilot fiance Derek Heath, a new swing thought and extra practice, she eked out a fabulous playoff win over Spain’s Azahara Munoz.

“It has everything to do with it,” said Creamer, when asked what role her relationship had played in the victory. “I am in such a good place, I am blessed with what I have, I’m blessed with what I’ve been given. It’s a lot of hard work, there’s a lot of up and downs but Derek just makes me so happy, he makes me want to be better.”
