Paula Creamer Comments After 2-and-1 Loss To Jane Park
"I tried. I left a couple of shots out there in the beginning. But Jane played great golf. She really did. She really wanted it. We haven’t played head to head a lot, just in stroke play. So it was kind of a grudge match between us both. She’s a great player and she definitely has a great chance tomorrow to win."
On Jane Park holing all those putts:
"In match play you have to expect that she is going to make them. I wish they didn’t all go in but you can’t do anything about what she does."
Was Jane Park Putting This Well Last Week At The Betsy Rawls event?
" No, not that well. Every 15-footer she had, she made it and that’s tough to go against. But there’s nothing I can do, but make it on top."
On the momentum shift of the match:
On 12 (par 5). She was 2 up with six to go. Right there (making that 15-foot putt for birdie after Paula was within a few feet for birdie.
(Jane's) huge shot of the day was on 16. She put it on top of mine (Park's approach was to 3 feet). But I had a lot of work left. That’s when it was pretty much over.
What will you take away from this week?
" Next year, I know that I can do it. I know I can play with these girls. This is the Women’s Am and I was glad to be in the semis and I have a medal around my neck. There are 152 other players who don’t have one and I think that’s a big thing. And just to play this great golf course.
What club did you hit into 17?
7-wood. We were thinking 4-iron. We knew we had to get it back there. I hit a real easy 7-wood. We made a mistake afterwards that we hit it at the flag. It was a downhill lie. That’s why it went a little right. But you learn from your mistakes.
