Paula Creamer surprised by husband as pilot to Women's British Open
Paula Creamer was boarding a plane headed for Scotland and this week's Ricoh Women's British Open when she got quite a surprise from the cockpit: her husband would be piloting her flight.
Creamer's husband, Derek Heath, is a former military pilot who now flies commercial jets for United Airlines. Knowing the date and location from where his wife would be flying toward Turnberry for the LPGA's fourth major of the year, Heath made arrangements to make the surprise plot a reality.
The 28-year-old, who turns 29 almost a week after the start of the British Open, is searching for a second major title to back up her 2010 U.S. Women's Open victory. It's a good event for Creamer; she has four career top-10 finishes.
