The Evian Championship has taken on an unexpected storyline as golfers battle temperatures in Europe that have reached record-high levels in the LPGA’s fourth major of 2019.
But there is a somewhat familiar name atop the leaderboard heading into Round 2 play Friday. Paula Creamer shot a bogey-free 7-under 64 at Evian-Les-Bains in France. Creamer’s last major championship came in the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open.
Creamer, who won at the Evian Resort Golf Club at age 16, leads by one.

“I feel really just in control,” said the 32-year-old Creamer, whose last top-10 finish in a major and last tournament win were both in 2014. “It’s been several years where I felt like just all-in-all good in my shoes.”
The 120-player Evian field includes all top 10 players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
The top 10 in the world are playing this weekend. They are joined by defending Evian champion and World No. 45 Angela Stanford. The AIG Women’s British Open follows on the LPGA calendar next week. It is the fifth and final major of the year and will be held at Woburn Golf Club in Milton Keynes, England.
