2007 LPGA Corning Classic Creamer Falls Short at Corning By Associated Press - May 27, 2007 CORNING, N.Y. -- On the course, Young Kim wears a hat pulled low over her eyes to shield her face from the sun. On Sunday, the hat served another purpose -- it hid tears of joy. In the aftermath of her first LPGA victory, a three-shot win at the Corning Classic, the hat also blocked a spray of soda showered on her by fellow South Koreans Mi Hyun Kim and In-Kyung Kim. "I cannot believe it," said Young Kim, whose breakthrough triumph came in her 103rd start. "I cannot say anything. Too much good." Young Kim overcame consecutive bogeys before the turn, then rallied with two birdies over the final five holes for a 4-under 68 to beat Paula Creamer (71) and Mi Hyun Kim (70). Beth Bader (72), also bidding for her first victory, made double bogey on the final hole to finish in a tie for fourth with rookie In-Kyung Kim (69) at 16-under. It was a career-best finish for Bader. Young Kim finished at 20-under 268, four shots off the tournament record set four years ago by Juli Inkster. She won $195,000, more than doubling her season winnings to $328,442, just outside the top 10. The 20-year-old Creamer, bidding for her second victory of the year and fourth of her brief career, couldn't duplicate the charge she made at the end of the third round when she finished with consecutive birdies to tie Bader and Young Kim for the lead. "I tried," said Creamer, who hit only 6 of 14 fairways a day after not missing any. "Nothing really clicked. To tie for second and be in contention the way I played to me is good confidence-wise. That was hard. It was a difficult day." After making just one bogey over the first three rounds, Kim seemed destined to fall apart after making two more at Nos. 8 and 9. But after Creamer took a one-shot lead with a birdie at the par-5 12th, she botched her approach shot at No. 14 and made bogey, three-putting from 45 feet when the sloping green proved too tricky. "You don't miss laying up," said Creamer, who played the tournament for the first time. "That's no good." Young Kim, who had nailed her third shot within a foot of the hole, easily made birdie to take a one-shot lead over Creamer, Bader and Mi Hyun Kim.
