Paula Creamer: Still Sick but Staying Positive

Paula Creamer is pinning her hopes on the mantra ‘beware the ailing golfer’ at this week’s Kraft Nabisco Championship after batting a mystery illness for most of this year.

Although the American world number four has produced two top-three finishes in just four LPGA Tour starts this season, she has suffered from chills and nausea.

“I can’t eat much and my energy levels are kind of low,” Creamer told reporters at Mission Hills Country Club on Tuesday during preparations for the first women’s major of the year.

“I don’t feel quite like my normal self out there but I just have to find some energy and get through.

“But I’ve won sick before. I think it really just makes you focus on other things. You’re out there and you don’t feel well but you’re getting the job done. I’ve played my best golf when I haven’t felt well.”

Creamer, a winner of eight titles on the LPGA Tour, was forced to pull out of last week’s LPGA International on Phoenix before starting the opening round.
