Golf: Creamer headlines Fields junior clinic

Advertiser Staff

The Fields Open in Hawaii Junior Clinic, featuring Paula Creamer and Christina Kim, will be held tomorrow from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Ko Olina Golf Club practice range.

Admission and parking are free for the clinic, presented by Kraft Foods. The $1.3 million tournament will be held Thursday through Saturday at Ko Olina.

Creamer and Kim will demonstrate a variety of shots and speak about their love for golf, as well as the life skills and core values that are an integral part of the game.

Creamer recorded 11 top-10 finishes in 2007, in addition to winning the season-opening SBS Open at Turtle Bay. She also became the fastest player in LPGA history to surpass the $3 million mark in career earnings, reaching the milestone at the Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill in two years, two months and 19 days.

Kim's best finish in 2007 was second place at the LPGA State Farm Classic, where she carded a season-low 66 in both the second and final rounds. Kim posted five additional top-10 finishes for the season. In 2007 Kim passed the $2 million mark in career earnings and carded her fourth LPGA career hole-in-one at the Honda LPGA Thailand.
