Nov. 11, 2004 – Paula Creamer at least has some security if she decides to turn pro. Creamer, an 18-year-old senior in high school, shared medalist honors at Q-school on the Futures Tour with 19-year-old Brittany Lincicome.

Lincicome, the first-round leader at the U.S. Women's Open, already has decided to turn pro and cashed her first check worth $500. Creamer is leaning toward turning pro, but still has not decided. She is in the finals of LPGA qualifying next month. If Creamer does not get her card, she has a spot on the Futures Tour, or she can go to college and compete on the Futures Tour as an amateur. Creamer tied for 13th at the U.S. Women's Open with Michelle Wie. "Everybody wants to win, but this is all about getting a card," Creamer said.
