Is Creamer #2?

Hello. Congrats to Paula Creamer for winning her 3rd tournament of the season, the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic. It was her 7th career win, and she's only in her early twenties. It was a fitting win for the "Pink Panther", as Owens Corning uses the Pink Panther for its advertisements.
Does this, and her challenging until Sunday in the US Women's Open, make Creamer the #2 lady in the world, ahead of Annika Sorenstam? I think so. Creamer may be be hungrier than Annika at this time, because she hasn't won a major. Annika has done it all. And if she never hit a ball again, Annika would be recognized as one of the best ladies ever.
Can Creamer get even higher? I don't think so, at least not yet. Lorena Ochoa has 6 wins, and is still going. She hits the ball much further, and is only about 4 years older. In other words, Lorena is going to be around for a while.
So is the Asian contingent. There are several players, two of which who have won majors this year, who are also young are have a great work ethic. They too will be around for a while.
Paula is #2 right now. She'd better enjoy it while it lasts.

Regards,
Steve
