Matchup Picks - LPGA Tour

Tipster: Stanley

LPGA Corning Classic (1.5pts unless stated):

Rachel Teske to beat Laura Diaz -120 @ SkyBet
Diaz may be a former winner of this event (2002), but she is in desperately poor form, missing four of seven cuts this season. It is no surprise that she has failed to finish ahead of Teske on any occasion this year.

Jung Yeon Lee to beat Sherri Steinhauer -114 @ Expekt [3pts]
Easy to oppose Steinhauer who admitted to being very surprised that she played well last week. Her win was her first top-10 finish since July 2002! There has to be a huge letdown this week, just as much as there has been an overreaction from the books in terms of who they have paired her with. Lee has just only managed three top-10 finishes this season, but has been 2nd on two occasions. These would never be paired other than after last week's extraordinary result.

Wendy Ward to beat Sherri Steinhauer -115 @ Five Dimes
Not quite as strong here, but Ward does still have two top-10 finishes to her name this season and did finish 2nd two weeks ago in her last outing. She also finished 9th last year, while Steinhauer was missing the cut.

Final update: 1-2; -3.72pts

Teske/Diaz LOST by 6
Lee/Steinhauer LOST by 3
Ward/Steinhauer WON by 6

Bit of a blemish on an otherwise great year with LPGA matchups. Just couldn't see Steinhauer finishing in the top-20 and paid the price with the main play.
