Inkster/Hetherington WON by 6 Poor effort. Gave back most of the
profit on the outrights with a unprofitable last day in the matchups. Matchup
plays (1.5pts): Catriona Matthew to beat Paula Creamer -125 @
Five
Dimes
Just don't see this matchup being close. Matthew has a career 7-2-0 h2h
lead over the young player and has been playing very well recently. Had
she not been let down by her partner in the final round, the Scottish
team could have won the Women's World Cup and she finished 33 places
ahead of Creamer when finishing in the top-10 in the opening Tour event
of the season last week. Juli Inkster to beat Laura Diaz -110 @
SkyBet
Opposing Diaz who missed the cut last week and played very poorly from
tee-to-green, hitting only 19 of 36 greens in regulation. She has proved
to be a slow starter in the past by missing the cut in her opening event
two years ago and in her first two events of last year. She looks to be
following the same path and so is worth opposing for now. Juli
Inkster to beat Rachel Hetherington -111 @
Centrebet
and
SuperOdds
Also opposing Rachel Hetherington, who has played as Rachel Teske in
recent seasons. She rather faltered from a promising position in
Australia last week and has been playing below her best for some time.
In the last three months of the 2004 season, Inkster finished ahead of
Hetherington in five of six common events and without any evidence of an
improvement in form from Hetherington, Inkster should be the clear
favourite.
