Franklin American Mortgage Championship (1.5pts):

Karrie Webb to win 16/1 e.w. @ Stan James
With no Sorenstam, Pak or Park, this has the look of a very run-of-the-mill event. It must be to have Lorena Ochoa and Mi-Hyun Kim as joint favourites at 7/1! It therefore seems very strange that Stan James are offering 16s on Webb, at least four points higher than everyone else. Her course form is respectable enough with finishes of 6th and 21st and she finished strongly last week to end up in 11th place, a position that she has matched in four of seven starts this season. And this is such a week field, she must be value at these odds.

Lorie Kane to win 22/1 e.w. @ Paddy Power
Kane has been fairly steady this season with three top-15 finishes in seven starts, though she has threatened to finish much higher before the weekend on a couple of occasions. She also finished in the top-15 in her only start on this course, so all the indications are there that she will contend. Now it is a matter of taking her opportunities and she will surely have fewer better opportunities than against this field.

Pat Hurst to win 33/1 e.w. @ Paddy Power
A course specialist who has nicely come into form in the past two weeks. She followed her top-20 finish in Chick-fil-A Charity Championship with a top-10 finish last week against the Tour's best players. She course form is unrivalled with finishes of 1st, 7th and 2nd while the Electrolux USA Championship was played here from 2000 to 2002 and certainly warrants support at this price.

Final update: 1-2; +2.44pts

Webb 29th
Kane 11th
Hurst 4th

Rather frustating that after backing Ochoa in the outrights many times since the start of the last year, she finally wins an event when ignored at 7/1. Hurst did get within a shot of Ochoa with three holes to play, but bogeys at the next two holes ended her challenge.
