HOYLAKE, England — Roughly 23 hours after her par putt spun out of the cup at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va., Paula Creamer stuck her tee in the ground on the fourth hole at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on the Wirral Peninsula.

“I’m a little tired,” said Creamer, who traveled all night Monday from Washington to England, distancing herself from her loss to Jiyai Shin at the Kingsmill Championship in the longest playoff — nine extra holes — between two players in L.P.G.A. history.

Creamer’s commercial flight touched down in Manchester midmorning on Tuesday, a full day later than originally scheduled. Creamer, who had to give up her seat on a Sunday night charter flight when her playoff with Shin spilled over into Monday, dropped her luggage off at the house where she is staying this week for the Women’s British Open, then continued on to the course.

Creamer, 26, missed her pro-am time but teed off with the group headlined by her friend Natalie Gulbis. She found the fairway with her drive, hit her approach into greenside rough, chipped to 12 feet and picked up her ball.
