At least Inkster had been in contention for the first two rounds. Not
much else to cheer in this event.

To win a Major you need very good greens in regulation stats, a strong
short game and experience. As a two-time champion (1999, 2002) fits the
bill. Her GIR stats may be a little down this year, but they have been
much improved of late, being over 65% in each of her last four starts
and the result has been some improved finishing positions: she has
finished in the top-6 in three of her last five starts. With Annika
Sorenstam not so invincible this year and Grace Park injuring her back,
Inkster's experience could prove to be the key again in this event.
Shi Hyun Ahn to win 50/1 e.w. available generally
Ahn does lack that experience as she only make her debut in a LPGA Tour
event last year, which she won. It was the Nine Bridges Classic in South
Korea and it enabled her play on the Tour this year which she has done
rather impressively with four top-5 finishes in eleven starts. She ranks
3rd in greens in regulation on the Tour so despite her lack of
experience, she should perform well around this course.
Yuri Fudoh to win 100/1 e.w. @

A big price for the star of Japanese ladies golf. She has been the
winner in four of nine starts this year, finishing in the top-3 on a
couple of other occasions. She has not been too daunted by this event
either as she has finished in the top-20 in two of the last three years
with putting being her only downfall. If she can master the greens this
week, she certainly has the game and the experience to be a serious
contender for this title.
