Really quick here: Paula Creamer banged out seven consecutive birdies to finish (it seems) her first round at the LPGA T of C in Alabama. The Pink Panther shot 29 on the back after an opening-nine 38. Creamer is tied for first with the eternally-young Meg Mallon, with a five-pack two strokes behind in third.

If you're referring to guys like me who view women's golf as a pitty-pat game, your hypothesis is a fallacy.
Paula is a professional. It is expected of her to occasionally run off a string of birdies. As she said, she has had six in a row several times.
I am a 14 handicap amateur. I rarely ever get a birdie. It isn't expected of me. It is expected that I succeed at my own profession.
Vijay Singh, Stuart Appleby, and Brad Faxon are pros who have "sneered" at the women's game. Do you think that those guys would have any trouble racking up birdies on an LPGA course.
Let's compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
