Outright Picks - LPGA Tour

Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic
FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -4.50pts
Webb 13th
Redman 35th
Rosales wd
Did have chances with Webb who played well until the weekend and with
Rosales who was also well-placed before the weekend, but hurt his wrist
very early in the 3rd round and withdrew three holes later. Mallon had
been on the shortlist, but had looked so poor last week ...
Outright plays (1.5pts):
Karrie Webb to win 14/1 e.w. @
Bet365
and
Paddy Power
Webb returned home to Australia for a couple of weeks for personal
reasons, but she also spent time with her coach, Kelvin Haller, and has
committed to play the next three weeks on Tour so she seems to be
refocused on the LPGA Tour. If so, her credentials for this event are
impressive. She has finished in the top-5 in four of the last six years
and was a winner only two months ago. She should also be fresher than
most of the field who competed at Sunningdale last week, so should be a
very strong contender if fully focussed on this event.
Michele Redman to win 40/1 e.w. @
SkyBet
With two top-5 finishes in her last three starts - and both of those
were in majors - she is clearly in good enough form to contend this
week, particularly against a rather weak field. She may not have played
the course previously, but this is more than compensated by the price.
Jennifer Rosales to win 50/1 e.w. @
Stan James
A staggering price from Stan James on a player who is generally no more
than 25/1. True, she was one of the players whose clubs were lost on the
flight over to France for the Evian Masters and true, she did withdraw
during the first round with an injury, but her clubs did arrive in time
for the Women's British Open and the latest reports are that her wrist
injury is no longer a concern. She even shot 66 to win the pro-am before
the British Open, but could only manage a 36th place finish after a poor
first round. A winner already this year and a top-10 finisher last year,
J-Ro is certainly not a 50/1 shot!
