Golf: Creamer grabs pole position

WILLIAMSBURG: Paula Creamer had six birdies in a six-under 65 to seize a two-shot lead over former world number one Jiyai Shin after three rounds of the LPGA’s Kingsmill Championship. Creamer had a 54-hole total of 16-under par 197, while overnight leader Shin, of South Korea, carded a 69 for 199. Dewi Claire Schreefel of the Netherlands carded a 69 for a share of third on 12-under 201 alongside American Danielle Kang, who shot 70. Creamer will be seeking a 10th career title on the LPGA Tour and her first since the 2010 US Women’s Open. “I can’t get too far ahead of myself,” said Creamer. “It’s all about confidence and right now I have a great swing thought and I’m just going to try and keep it going.”
