Evian Masters

FINAL RESULT: 1-1; +1.50pts

Ochoa 3rd
Webb dns
Kerr 21st

Good attempt from Ochoa who finished within one of overnight leader, Annika Sorenstam, but both were overtaken by Wendy Doolan who shot 65. Webb did not start and whereas Ochoa shot every round under 70, Kerr failed to do so once.

Outright plays (1.5pts):

Lorena Ochoa to win 20/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes
A very strong field, but still a good price for a player ranked 3rd in scoring average on the LPGA Tour. Ochoa was in the hunt for her 2nd title of the year two weeks ago in Canada, eventually finishing 3rd, but her form is good. She also finished 3rd last year so with course experience under her belt, this should be another good performance from the young player who was making all the headlines in the pre-Wie days.

Karrie Webb to win 25/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
It is a long time since Webb was a rookie and she dominate the headlines for a few years, but there are plenty of signs that she is on the way back. She won the Kellogg-Keebler Classic last month and has been ranked 1st and 2nd in greens in regulation in her last two events only to be let down by a cold putter. This week she is on familiar terrain, which is not the case for a large section of this field, and has finished in the top-5 in two of the last four years. A good chance of doing so again this year.

Cristie Kerr to win 28/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Surprised that Kerr is priced at higher odds than Webb. She has travelled widely, securing top-10 finishes in the last two years here, and is a dual winner already this season. She is certainly capable of add a third victory even in this company.
