SYLVANIA, Ohio — Beatriz Recari isn’t so bold as to place herself among the greatest LPGA Tour players.

Instead, she hopes to continue plugging along and let the record book do the talking for her.

The 26-year-old Spaniard took the lead at the 14th hole and then made two more mammoth putts down the stretch to hold off Paula Creamer in a tense, one-on-one duel to win the Marathon Classic on Sunday.

It was her second win of the year and third of her young career. It was also a sign that she might be the best player nobody knows on the Tour.

“I have goals big enough that I want to accomplish,” she said, still flushed from the victory. “There are great players out there, like Se Ri (Pak), Annika (Sorenstam), like Inbee (Park). All I want to focus on is to be the best I can be. I cannot control what other people think about me. All I can do is put a good score out there, get those wins and the wins speak for themselves.”

Recari and Creamer started the day tied and spent most of the day trading the lead — as if it were match play.

Recari closed with a 5-under 66 to finish at 17-under 267. Creamer, who was seeking her 10th career win and first since the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open, was just a stroke back.
