['w/o Sorenstam' market]
Making all three plays in the 'w/o Sorenstam' market as these three selections
finished ahead of Sorenstam six times between them in 45 events in total over
the past year. And only three of those have been in events in North America.
Throw in Sorenstam's 2nd, 1st, 2nd and 1st record on this course and there is a
lot to be said for lower odds, but an enhanced chance of winning, plus an extra
place which is important in itself in a field of just 30 players (assuming
Sorenstam finishes in the top-4). For Webb, there should be a 'feel good' effect
from being inducted into the Golf Hall of Fame last week and as the youngest
member. She did beat Annika on this course to win in 2001 and her record of 3rd,
10th and 3rd since then is particularly impressive. With decent current form as
well, she should certainly finish in the top-5. Jeong Jang to win 16/1 e.w.

And so should Jang. Last week was only the second time since July (nine starts)
that she has failed to finish in the top-6 and she did threaten to keep that
record going last week, but faltered towards the end. With a top-10 finish last
year to boost her belief that she can compete on this course, the Tour's most
consistent player (bar Sorenstam) should certainly be in line for another
leaderboard finish. Carin Koch to win 20/1 e.w. @

Koch looked as though she might finish in the places last week, but stuttered
after a fast start to her finish round and eventually finished 7th. After
finishing 2nd in South Korea in her previous events, there are no concerns about
her form and if her course form is anything to go by - finishes of 16th, 7th and
then 3rd last year - she should also be very much in contention for a place
finish this week as well. |
