Golf: Creamer in contention, hospital

By TIM REYNOLDS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Paula Creamer has played well enough this week to have a chance of winning the LPGA Tour's money title.

That is, if she can get out of the hospital Sunday morning.

Hours after becoming one of eight qualifiers for the final round of the ADT Championship and its $1 million first-place prize today, Creamer — who has been sick since Wednesday night — was admitted to Bethedsa Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach because of severe abdominal distress.

She will stay there overnight, and "a decision as to whether or not she plays (Sunday's) round will be made early (Sunday) morning," said Jay Burton, the senior vice president of IMG, which represents Creamer.
