Creamer Ends Ochoa’s Winning Streak

by Sandy Mitchell on May 5th, 2008

Twenty-one year old Paula Creamer won the SemGroup Championship yesterday, ending Lorena Ochoa’s bid (at least for now) to win five consecutive LPGA championships. But, it wasn’t easy.

Creamer blew a two-shot lead on the final hole, forcing a playoff with 47-year-old Juli Inkster. Creamer finally won the playoff by sinking an eight-foot birdie putt.

This win is Creamer’s sixth career win and second this year. (She won the Fields Open in February.)
