Insane 75' Eagle Putt Decides LPGA Tourney

Paula Creamer sank a 75-foot eagle putt on the second playoff hole against Azahara Munoz to win the HSBC Women's Champions today for her first LPGA title since the 2010 US Women's Open. Creamer's putt curled across the 18th green and then rolled slowly down the slope and directly into the hole. She ran across the green, then fell to her knees and put her head on the ground, laughing and pounding the grass. "It's one of those putts where if you just get it in the right spot, it's going to fall down," she said. "But I could stand there all day long and putt that and I don't think get it within six, seven feet."

Creamer and Munoz finished 72 holes tied at 10-under 278, one stroke ahead of Karrie Webb, who led after every round but bogeyed three of her last six holes to give up a three-shot lead and finish third. Today's victory came after a long drought for Creamer, and against one of the toughest fields outside the majors, featuring 19 of the top 20 ranked players. "It might be one of my favorite wins. ... It's been almost three years and so much has happened," she said. "Holding that trophy, gosh, it was so nice." (More LPGA stories.)
