FINAL RESULT: 1-2; -6.32pts
Prammanasudh/Diaz LOST by 4
Prammanasudh/Pak LOST by 2
Pressel/Lee WON by 14 Very disappointing. Pak could do no more than match her
2nd-best finish this season of 25th, but it was still too much for Prammanasudh
who recorded her 2nd-worst finish since February. Matchup plays (2pts unless stated):
Stacy Prammanasudh to beat Laura Diaz -108 @
Centrebet
Backing the very consistent Prammanasudh in this matchup. Diaz did win this
head-to-head last week, but that was on a course on which she has a fabulous
record, and the other occasion that she finished ahead of Prammanasudh in the
last nine month was at the Reunion Golf Club and that was by a single shot. So
while she did finish 5th last week, I can't imagine her bringing too much
confidence with her into this week from the way that she played on the back nine
on Sunday.

Stacy Prammansudh to beat Se Ri Pak -136 @
Pinnacle
[6pts]
The only question here is whether Pak is back or not. She recorded a top-10
finish in the Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open and has already amassed more winnings
this season than in the whole of last year, but her best finish this year other
than that top-10 has been 25th. When she did finish 9th at the Reunion Golf
Club, she beat Prammanasudh, but she has finished behind her opponent in their
six other common events this year and it is not because of injury and her finger
injury of last year is completely healed. And if such h2h stats were not enough
(she also finished 22 shots behind Prammanasudh last year), Pak will team with a
new caddie this week and she admits to not even knowing his name yet!
Morgan Pressel to beat Meena Lee -108 @
Pinnacle
[4pts]
Lee is clearly a player to side with in the outrights at good odds as she has
played eleven times this year, winning once, losing a playoff once and finishing
outside the top-10 on every other occasion. But that should also mean that she
is a good player to oppose in matchups and in the three times that she has
beaten Pressel, two of those occasions were due to being 1st or 2nd. Pressel has
prevailed in the eight other common events and with some reaction to the playoff
loss expected from Lee, Pressel should win again. |
