Paula Creamer Golf Quotations

Women in pro-ams are always telling me about all the business deals they've struck on the golf course playing with their male work colleagues.

Practice, work out, proper nutrition, lots of work on my short game. In golf, that's really where the strokes come off the scorecard.

Every woman should recruit a female friend to take up golf so there will be more women available to play.

I have been an avid reader of 'Golf Digest' ever since I started playing this great game.

An American champion, obviously being here in the states, is something that we all look at with the U.S. Open. But golf is played all over the world, and there are so many great golfers from other countries, and we're lucky enough that this is our home base to be able to play out of.

I'm getting more and more comfortable out on the golf course with the changes I've been making. It's really just a confidence thing in that I love being in contention.

We are a global sport. I mean, golf is obviously played all around the world. But when you have your National Championship, of course, everybody in America is rooting for an American.

I have definitely gotten longer. I have new muscles and my golf swing has changed, so once in a while I can hit one pretty far out there. But it's learning how to use those muscles on a consistent basis.

I don't know about overshadowing. She just has raised the bar for women's golf and she's made it a better sport right now. She's brought the more physical aspects into the game, being longer and stronger. The main thing is she is just stronger and can hit it further than anybody out here right now and that is a huge advantage. She has just raised it for so many players.

I always wanted to win on a traditional style golf course. It's like the courses I grew up playing in Northern California.

I feel great. I knew I had to play good golf coming down the stretch. I knew if I just stayed patient and kept giving myself birdie looks everything would be OK.

There is a huge difference, especially in the rough. The ball either sits up or sits down and have to hit a 58-degree wedge out. It is just one of those things. Like Natalie said, it is a great golf course and a very good test of golf. You are going to have to hit demanding shots out there. You can't just hit it anywhere and you have to be on your A game.

I think I'll be able to handle it. I love pressure. I play my best golf when I have pressure. I love big galleries.

We're very good friends. A lot of people misjudge her. She's younger than everyone. But if she's bringing more attention to women's golf and more money with higher purses, that's great for me.

Actually, today was probably the worst I hit the ball off the tee for sure. I missed a lot of fairways on the front nine, but I tried to give myself chances and I tried to stay patient out there. I feel good with a seven-shot lead, that is nice, but there is a lot of golf to be played.

I told myself (at that time) there was a lot of golf left and to stay patient,

That's pretty remarkable what she does. I got to play with her (Tuesday), and she's such a good kid. She's fearless on the golf course; she just steps up and hits it and hits it again.

I paid so much attention to them I forgot what I was doing out on the golf course. Ever since then, it doesn't matter who I play with. I'm in my own world now, and I learned a lot from them.

I like this golf course a lot. Last year I took third, so I'm feeling very confident with it.

I put the most pressure on myself. I'm very hard on myself. I expect perfection when I'm out there, ... I'm going to go out and play good golf and be, hopefully, a team player, and just wish on the USA, I'll be behind everybody 100 percent.

I didn't hit a lot of fairways. And there were times when I didn't feel as if I was on a golf course out there.

I can only take care of myself. My biggest rivalry is the golf course. You just try to go out as low as you can and give yourself a chance to win. There are so many different age players playing well, it's exciting.

I really enjoy what little time I have at home. The golf course and practice facilities are perfect and so close to home!

I've always said, the harder the golf course, the better I play.
