Paula Creamer calmly won her biggest US LPGA Tour victory yet, holding off a large pack in the Samsung World Championship. Playing near her hometown of Pleasanton, the 22-year-old Creamer beat Song-Hee Kim by a stroke Sunday, closing with a bogey-free 3-under 69 for a 9-under 279 total. Creamer earned $250,000 for her fourth title of the year and eighth overall. On No. 18, Creamer holed a 5-foot par putt that rolled around the right lip of the cup and in. She dropped her putter, and raised both arms with a huge smile across her face as Kim waited nearby for a possible playoff. Kim finished with a 68 for her fifth top-five finish of the year. Two-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot a 69 to tie for third at 7 under with Juli Inkster (68), Suzann Pettersen (68) and Angela Stanford (70). After Kim moved into a share of the lead by chipping in for birdie on No. 14 - the first time all day Creamer wasn't alone out front - Creamer made a long birdie putt on 15 to retake control. Johnson tastes victory Dustin Johnson birdied his last two holes and claimed his first PGA Tour title Sunday with a victory in the six million-dollar Turning Stone Resort Championship at Verona in New York. Johnson carded a three-under 69 for nine-under-par total of 279 that put him one stroke in front of Australian Robert Allenby. Allenby carded a two-under 70, but he couldn't manufacture a birdie on the back nine and suffered a costly bogey at the 15th. Starting the day two shots off the lead, Allenby was three-under on the front nine thanks to birdies at two, three and five. But it in the end it was Johnson, playing his first full season on the US tour, who came through in the clutch. He had five birdies in the round, capped by his birdie-birdie finish to claim the $1.08 million first prize. Seven players were tied for third on 281, including veteran Davis Love and Charles Howell - who started the day tied for the lead and settled for a one-over 73. Tag Ridings, who shared the overnight lead, imploded in his final 18 holes, carding four bogeys and a double-bogey at the 13th en route to a 79 for 287. Karlsson clinches victory Sweden's Robert Karlsson won the Dunhill Links Championship after a three-way sudden death playoff at St. Andrews in Scotland on Sunday. Karlsson finished tied with Germany's Martin Kaymer and Briton Ross Fisher after 72 holes but a birdie at the first extra hole earned him the victory. Fisher had set the four-round total of 278 with a seven-under 65, soon matched by Karlsson, while Kaymer, seeking a third win of the year, carded a 68, leaving the trio two shots better than another Swede, Jarmo Sandelin (70). Kaymer had had two golden chances to seal victory in normal time but missed a five-foot putt when bogeying 17 and an eight-footer for birdie on the last, but Karlsson took control in the shootout. The tall Swede's accurate three-wood off the tee and wedge to around three feet guided him to the $800,000 first prize.
