Michelob ULTRA Open (1.5pts):
Lorena Ochoa to win 28/1 e.w. @
Centrebet
Siding with two of the players that finished a shot behind Grace Park in
last year's event. Park may have been the longest-hitter last year, but
this is not a particularly long course and Ochoa was able to excel on
it. She comes into the event on the back of four top-10 finishes, which
is better form than a year ago and should at least feature on the
leaderboard this week.
Cristie Kerr to win 28/1 e.w. @
SkyBet
Kerr did not feature on the leaderboard after a promising opening round
last week. No disgrace in that as she had won the previous event on the
Tour. Her form is almost as good as Ochoa's, though she does have that
win, and she also finished 2nd last year so there is plenty of course
for optimism.
Rosie Jones to win 33/1 e.w. @
Ladbrokes
Jones was not such a high finisher last year - though she did finish in
the top-20 - but at least she finished 2nd last week instead. Her form
has been typically consistent and impressive this year, particularly
after her 'announcement', and with length not really being a factor
around Kingsmill, she could certainly claim the win that she looked like
gaining last week.
Final update: 1-2; +1.50pts
Ochoa 2nd
Kerr 6th
Jones 25th
Gutted! Ochoa and Kerr shared the lead with one round to
play, but neither of them managed to break par in the final round. At
least Ochoa did start brightly and looked to be in control of the event,
but faded around the turn, while Pak shot 65 to win by two shots. Quite
a contrast to Kerr who shot a four-over-par 75 to not even gain a place
win.
