Paula Creamer given medical go-ahead to
play in last round of ADT Championship
Paula Creamer has been given the green light by doctors to play the final round of the LPGA Tour's season-ending ADT Championship later today.
She was admitted to Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach, Florida on Saturday evening after suffering from abdominal pain for three days, a possible case of appendicitis.
She was kept overnight for testing and evaluation, but arrived at Trump International today about an hour and 15 minutes before her 9:40 a.m. tee time.
"I'll play," Creamer said quietly as she tied her shoes in the parking lot, wearing her customary Sunday pink outfit. "Feeling a little better."
Creamer began feeling ill Wednesday night, originally thinking it was a flu-like virus, and was barely able to eat anything for three days. Creamer got through Saturday's third round by nibbling on two pieces of dry toast and a plain bagel, and often doubled over in pain after hitting shots.
"The best position for me is hunched over," Creamer said Saturday before going to the hospital. "I'm not a big complainer, but one more day -- that's what I keep telling myself."
The ADT first prize of $1million - if Paula could win it - would see her overtake Lorena Ochoa in the race for the leading money-winner's title and become the first American to finish at the top of the cash table since Betsy King in 1993.
"Money title or not, I want to win this event," Creamer said Saturday before going to the hospital.
