Giant Eagle LPGA Classic

Outright plays (1.5 units):

Mi Hyun Kim to win 16/1 e.w. @ Five Dimes (.75 units to win & .75 units to finish in top-5)
Side-stepping Pak and Webb who will both be playing their seventh event in eight weeks and siding with Kim who has been playing very consistently this season and has two runners-up finishes in the last month. Gained some valuable course experience last year with a top-10 finish.

Beth Daniel to win 40/1 e.w. @ Five Dimes (.75 units to win & .75 units to finish in top-5)
Daniel didn't play last year, but has been in excellent form. Her 34th place finish last week was only the second time this season that she has finished outside the top-25 and she has performed particularly well in this year's major championships. Looks a good price for such a consistent player.

Michele Redman to win 50/1 e.w. @ Five Dimes (.75 units to win & .75 units to finish in top-5)
Another extremely consistent player. She hasn't missed a cut since the Women's British Open in August 2001 and had a particularly good run of form just over a month ago. Failed to build on her 5th place after 3 rounds in the U.S. Women's Open two weeks ago, but rested last week and should at least match her top-15 finish last year.

Matchup plays (1.5 units unless stated):

Beth Daniel to beat Dorothy Delasin -111 @ BetandWin [3 units]
Delasin is obviously the event specialist. She won this title two years ago at Avalon Lakes and defended her title last her at this course, but on both occasions she had been in a good vein of form. She is not at the moment - she has recorded just one top-10 finish this season and that was four months ago. Daniel is playing much better and won the inaugural event back in 1990.

Mhairi McKay to beat Gloria Park -111 @ BetandWin
Another very consistent season from McKay. From 16 starts this year, she has finished in the top-25 13 times and has recorded top-10 finishes in her last two events, including the U.S. Women's Open. Park's form has improved recently, but she can't reach that level of golf. McKay leads 5-2 in head-to-heads over the past three months.
