Matchup Picks - LPGA Tour

Tipster: Stanley

Kellogg-Keebler Classic (1.5pts unless stated):

Rosie Jones to beat Cristie Kerr -110 @ SkyBet [4.5pts]
This is a course on which course form has proven to be very important and not simply because the top-two positions have been filled by the same two players in each year. By this measure, Kerr should struggle this week. A best finish of 61st in two attempts does not compare well with Jones' 5th place finish last year and nor is she as consistent as Jones who has finished outside the top-30 just once in the past year.

Rosie Jones to beat Catriona Matthew -154 @ Nordicbet
Matthew did match Jones in the top-5 last year, but is nowhere near as consistent, having finished 52nd and then missed the cut in her two events before last week's top-10 finish. This has still been a good season for Matthew, but I'll still with the more consistent player at this level.

Catriona Matthew to beat Rachel Teske -128 @ Five Dimes
Arguably Teske has been more consistent than Matthew this season, but not at the highest level. She has made all eight cuts on the LPGA Tour, but achieved only one top-10 finish against three for Matthew. Plus she has a best finish of 31st in two visits to this course, but looks set to finish outside the top-10 again.

Becky Morgan to beat Wendy Ward -150 @ Five Dimes
Two players in good form with top-5 finishes in the past month, but a big difference in course form. Morgan was a top-3 finisher last year, while Ward has a best finish of 25th from two attempts.

Final update: 2-0-0; +3.00pts

Jones/Kerr VOID (Jones dns)
Jones/Matthew VOID (Jones dns)
Matthew/Teske WON by 3
Morgan/Ward WON by 4

Nice sweep to continue the good run on LPGA matchups, even if it was only from two matches. Jones should have beaten Matthew who finished 29th, but it was a good result overall as in the triple-play, she might have struggled to beat Kerr who finished 7th.
