ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Paula Creamer is leading a major tournament again after shooting a bogey-free, seven-under 64 on Thursday in the first round of the Evian Championship.
When Creamer last topped a major leaderboard, she won the 2010 United States Women’s Open by four strokes to get her ninth title on the L.P.G.A. Tour.
At the Evian Resort Golf Club, where she had a signature win as a teenager, Creamer, a 32-year-old American, moved one shot clear after making her seventh birdie on the par-5 18th.
“I feel really just in control,” said Creamer, who is ranked No.
