Matchup Picks - LPGA Tour

McDonald's LPGA Championship (1.5pts unless stated):
Laura Davies to beat Carin Koch -111 @
Stan James
Koch has finished ahead of Davies only once in seven common events this
year and that was by a single shot in the LPGA Corning Classic. Her
record on this course also does measure well against Davies, so I can
only see one winner here.
Lorie Kane to beat Becky Morgan -111 @
Centrebet
Morgan has showed some good form this year, but still not enough to be
at the same level as Kane. In their last seven common events, Kane was
finished ahead of Morgan on six occasions. Once again, I'll side with
the player that dominates the matchup.

Grace Park to beat Karrie Webb +100 @
Stan James
[3pts]
And again. Park leads Webb 13-4-1 h2h over the last year, so it makes
her underdog odds difficult to understand. Webb did win last week, but
had shown little previous sign of doing so this year, while Park has
been incredibly consistent as outlined when she was selected for the
outright market. Park finished 19 shots ahead of Webb last year and
while it should be closer, it is the South Korean who should prevail yet
again.

Final update: 1-2-0; -0.33pts
Davies/Koch LOST by 8
Kane/Morgan LOST by 1
Park/Webb WON by 11
An easy win for Park in the double-play, but denied a profit overall
when Morgan finished strongly to just edge back ahead of Kane.
