Paula Creamer's fourth victory of 2008 was an emotional one for her, playing in front of family and friends near where she grew up.  She could barely speak during her greenside interview.  Considering also her outburst on the course Friday, it's safe to say Paula really wanted this one.

Creamer did not play her usual pink golf ball yesterday and we never heard why.  I don't know which is more surprising - Paula not using the pink ball on Sunday or nobody in the broadcast crew saying anything about it.  If Judy Rankin had been there, I guarantee it would have been mentioned.

The scoring average for the four days was 71.69, not as low as some Samsung events but not as high as it could have been.  The players were lucky that Friday was the only day that wind was a factor (73.2 that day, 71.2 the other three) because the narrow fairways and rough at Half Moon Bay was plenty difficult.

Angela Stanford had a great week considering the shoulder "impingement", as Dan Hicks called it.  That sounds comparable to Jeong Jang's wrist tendonitis.  I hope both players can make it through the end of the schedule and rest those injuries enough to avoid surgery.

Song-Hee Kim led the field in driving accuracy this week and given the Ocean Course's rough, that explains a lot about her great performance.  In her rookie year, Kim was T18 in distance and 76^th in accuracy.  This year she's sacrificed about 10 yards of distance to gain about 50 points on her accuracy and I don't think you can argue with her results.  Can somebody relay that point to Morgan Pressel, please?

What happened to Na Yeon Choi?  A two-shot lead entering the weekend wound up as a T17 after rounds of 75-79.  A great opportunity to make up ground on Yani Tseng in the ROY race slips away (Tseng was T13).
