LPGA Corning Classic (1.5pts):
Rosie Jones to win 14/1 e.w. @
Paddy Power
Jones has almost become a regular feature on this page this year and
while she has not won, she has been a regular contender and did finish
2nd in the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship earlier this month. But her
low price is based on her excellent course form. She won this event
back-to-back in 1996-97 and has finished in the top-10 in eleven of the
last thirteen years here! Looking for at least a place finish from her
this week.
Cristie Kerr to win 33/1 e.w. @
Stan James
Kerr has won this year and with four top-6 finishes in eight starts this
year, it is surprising that she is available at these odds - there is no
Se Ri Pak or Grace Park in the field. Her course form is respectable
enough with a top-15 finish last year, so this does look rather like a
rick.
Shi Hyun Ahn to win 50/1 e.w. @
SkyBet and
Paddy Power
Not as much of an unexpected price for Ahn, but still value with a very
consistent player. She won the Nine Bridges Classic in South Korea last
year to earn her exemption on this Tour and she started as though she
going to win several times this year. Her form did dip a little after
opening with two top-5 finishes, but her last three finishes have been
11th, 14th and 16th, all on new courses for her and all after poor
opening rounds. So with a decent start, she could certainly be a top-5
player again.
Final update: 1-1; +3.75pts
Jones 14th
Kerr dns
Ahn 4th
One bad round took Jones out of the running for a place finish, while
a bogey on the final hole meant that Ahn dropped back into a three-way
tie for 4th place and a share of the place payout. Still profitable
enough though to bring the outrights back into profit for the season.
