Matchup Picks - LPGA Tour

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.
