Injuries and withdrawals are not new for Paula Creamer
The new season of the Founders Cup did not bring much change in the fate for Paula Creamer. The 2010 U.S. Women’s Open champion faced a similar disheartening end at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup.
In the year previous to that the 10-time LPGA Tour winner had struggled in establishing a single top 10 after coming back from wrist surgery. The player had formerly suffered from serious wrist pain which had resulted in her withdrawing from the Evian Championship in 2017.
