Tipster: Stanley

Welch's/Fry's Championship

Matchup plays (1.5pts):

Lorie Kane to beat Dorothy Delasin -111 @ Stan James
Siding with the outright selection again who as a 3-1-0 h2h lead over Delasin on this course. Simply the better player and playing on a course on which she holds a considerable advantage.

Meg Mallon to beat Sophie Gustafson -118 @ Expekt
While Mallon as three top-15 finishes from three starts on this course in the past five years, Gustafson has a best finish of 30th from four attempts. While I would not go as low as NordicBet's -182 on Mallon, Expekt's odds are very generous for a player who also has a much better record on the LPGA Tour.

Pat Hurst to beat Michelle Ellis -118 @ NordicBet
Ellis had a fine 4th place finish in the Women's Australian Open last week, but given the travel and the difference in time zones, it cannot be an advantage to have been playing in that event when it was not concluded until the Monday morning. Ellis did manage three top-10 finishes on Tour last year, but Hurst managed three in her last five starts of the season. The better player should prevail.

Final update: 2-1-0; +1.23pts

Kane/Delasin WON by 1
Mallon/Gustafson LOST by 8
Hurst/Ellis WON by 8

Satisfactory start to the season which virtually cancelled out the losses on the outrights.
