US Open: Paula Creamer and the Par 4 10th
Just a few minutes ago in Saucon Valley Country Club, Paula Creamer got a triple bogey at the Par 4 10th. It was so painful to watch that I found my self stressing out with every shot she made. The hole was setup to be at a drivable distance but instead of playing it safe and laying up, she used her driver from the teeing ground and went for it. I watched her fluorescent pink ball fly and land on a bunker. From this bunker, she had to hit over another bunker on to the green. The flagstick was probably 40 yards away. The bad part is, when she hit this shot, it almost seemed like she did a full swing and to make it worse, her club face hit the ball first before the sand which made it fly over 70 yards and into the rough over the green! From there, she had to chip 3 times before getting her ball on the green. She 2 putted after, for a triple bogey. Can Paula Creamer come back from this triple? Can't wait to find out!
