And Then There Are 3?

Hello. Congrats to Paula Creamer for winning on the LPGA Sunday. Creamer became the 3rd multi-winner in 2008, along with Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa.
So are there 3 dominant LPGA players now? Well, Creamer did win with Ochoa in the field. Ochoa came 5th. Annika hasn't done that yet.
I think all 3 have separated themselves from the rest. However, Ochoa has separated herself from Creamer and Sorenstam. Of course, that could change at the LPGA Championship. I doubt it, however.
Wasn't it only two years ago Creamer was always mentioned with Morgan Pressel and Michelle Wie? As in who was the best of those 3? Since then, Creamer has moved up to #3 in the world, Pressel has become the youngest major winner, and Wie has been injured and missed cuts.
Can Creamer move even further up the ranks? To do so she's going to have to hit the ball further. Right now both ladies ahead of her can launch it by her.
Does Creamer have the desire to go higher? I think so. She's done well financially off the course, so she can focus on that target.
Congrats again Paula!

Regards,
Steve
