WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.: Ji-Yai Shin began this year thinking she'd end up playing in the LPGA Tour's qualifying school.
A major title and a $1 million check changed that.
Shin, this summer's British Open champion, held off Karrie Webb and an ailing Paula Creamer to win the ADT Championship today with a final round 2-under par 70 at Trump International. She captured the $1 million winner's prize, by far the biggest on tour, after a four-birdie, two-bogey day.
''A really special year for me,'' said Shin, who isn't even a full-fledged member of the LPGA Tour yet, but won three times in those fields this year and has 21 wins worldwide since 2007.
Webb finished one shot back and Creamer, who spent Saturday night in the hospital because of an inflamed abdominal wall, finished tied for third with Seon Hwa Lee after both shot 74s.
Creamer needed to win today to finish atop the yearlong money list, something no American player has done since Betsy King in 1993. Instead, Lorena Ochoa — who didn't qualify for the weekend at ADT — finished with the money title at $2,762,660.
''I gave it all I had,'' said Creamer, who fell ill Wednesday night and could barely eat since the tournament began. She had to down some medicine on the 13th hole just to finish today's round. ''I tried as hard as I possibly could. I wasn't going to quit.''
Creamer made two birdies in a three-hole span on the back side, but took a three-putt bogey at the par-5 15th, essentially ending her chances at her fifth win of the year and taking the money crown.
