Women's World Cup of Golf
FINAL RESULT:
1-1; -0.45pts
Sweden 16th
Scotland 4th
Happy to nearly break-even on these plays after Moodie was 8-over-par after 12
holes in the final round. Wasted a golden opportunity after Scotland
were tied for the lead heading into the final round and still only
finished three shots behind the winners, Japan.

Sweden to win 8/1 @

A new event and a new course for the LPGA Tour, so there is anything but
home advantage this week. But in terms of the links-type course at
Fancourt, it should favour these two teams in particular. Gustafson is
widely regarded as the best links player in the world and, like Koch,
finished 2004 with a number of top-10 finishes. With a good history
together in the Solheim Cup, they look the best value amongst the
leading teams. It does help that this pairing did win a
European-based World Cup in Ireland in 2000.
Scotland to win 12/1 e.w. @
Stan James
Thereafter comes Scotland. The pairing of Moodie and Matthew is also
well-tested in the Solheim Cup, winning 2.5pts out of three together two
years ago. They have been keen to stress how much they enjoy playing
with each other in interviews and with both having a good record when
travelling, they should certainly be in contention for a top-4 finish.
Better odds are available elsewhere, but only with 3 places on offer.
