The Winners are...

KAHUKU, Hawaii (AP) -- Paula Creamer won the LPGA Tour's season-opening SBS Open on Saturday for her first victory since 2005, handling the whipping wind to hold off Julieta Granada by a stroke.

...the youngsters are at it again on the Ladies' Tour. Hats off to Paula Creamer, she of the sterling start in her first year, and the not so sterling second year. But what about Julieta Granada! She nows adds a second place finish to go along with her first place trophy in her last two LPGA events. Wow!

and the men:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Charles Howell III felt his heart leap when he realized only 3 feet of green stood between him and an improbable playoff victory against Phil Mickelson in the Nissan Open.

...he made the short putt in a 3 hole playoff that saw the winner best good old Phil in the short game that included two beautiful chips and a dicey putt. Hats off to the young man who has been piling up second place finishes like it was the thing to do.

...Phil Mickelson's 15 wins on the West Coast - fast start indeed. A question: how many of those were events without that guy with the initials TW?
