Paula Creamer talks about learning how to win in Junior Golf: An indirect, deserved swipe at Michelle Wie?

EDINA, Minn. (June 27, 2008) - You know that Paula Creamer has to love the fact that Michelle Wie continues to throw up all over herself in any pressure golf situation. Just like about 150 other women out here at the U.S. Women’s Open delight in it.

After Creamer posted a 1-under 72 in her second round, to move to four under for the Open, within three shots of the lead at this moment, she was served up a question that allowed her to take a swipe at the Wie duck-all-comers way without having to mention Wie by name.

When someone asked Creamer how her experience winning Junior Golf tournaments helped her, she didn’t hesitate.

“It’s about being able to win at every level,” said Creamer, who has. “In every kind of situation. It’s all about confidence and knowing that you’ve done it before, that you know how to win. Knowing that you can win in match play or stroke play, knowing that you come from behind and win, how to play with the lead. That’s all experience.”

Experience Team Wie never gave Michelle a chance to get. I don’t think the hype masters behind Wie regret their choice though. If Wie had played more Junior Golf, she probably would have been exposed long before she was and the fake legend never would have built up enough to allow for the cash cow payouts.

It’s good to be Creamer today, though.
