Creamer and Bandea

Paula Creamer’s historic win seems to be getting the attention it deserves. ESPN.com had her on their home page most of the day, with an accompanying Ron Sirak article pointing out that Creamer is approaching her career quite differently than Michelle Wie.

On the freak show news front, check out the story of 14-year-old Carmen Bandea who is playing in the men’s U.S. Open qualifying. Like Creamer, she goes to the IMG/Titleist/Polo Acade…err, The Pendleton School in bucolic Bradenton . According to the wire service story – and I am not making this up - Bandea likes playing with the men because, according to the writer, “it gives her a chance to pair up with someone cute. She was especially eager to check out her two playing partners Monday.”

"She's very mature in some ways, but in some ways she's very immature," her mother said. "She's kind of acting her age right now." Then what better time to enter the U.S. Open qualifying!

And for those searching for the gift that keeps on giving, check out the Tour wives charity wrist bands for charity. These are bound to go over well in the men's card room. How long before we see players having to wear these to appease the wife?
