State Farm Classic

FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -4.50pts

Stupples 21st
Davies 24th
Diaz 11th

Diaz finished best-placed and three shots out of a place finish, but all were a very long way behind Cristie Kerr and Christina Kim in some of the lowest scoring on this Tour for many years.

Outright plays (1.5pts):

Karen Stupples to win 25/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Missed the cut last week after a two-week break, but confident of a return to her previous form this week - form that resulted in top-4 finishes in each of her last four events, including a win at the Women's British Open. And with a good history on this course - four top-15 finishes in five visits - she will be looking to move up from her current 6th place on the Tour's Money List and Scoring Average lists.

Laura Davies to win 25/1 e.w. @ Stan James
Davies ranks just behind Stupples in scoring average this year and has shown similar form recently in her last four events on the Ladies European Tour. A win this week will edge closer to a Hall of Fame selection and her course history suggests that she will come very close this week. She has played in this event six times and has finished in top-4 five times. She has been runner-up on three occasions, twice via a playoff, but never won this title. This course owes Davies a win!

Laura Diaz to win 30/1 e.w. @ Centrebet
Diaz has shown a marked improvement in form over the past six weeks and should not be at these odds. Although she finished in 4th place in the three-day event, the Giant Eagle Classic, last month, she has gone backwards in the final round in the four events since. From positions of 4th, 2nd, 12th and 10th, she has finished 13th, 10th, 22nd and 13th respectively. She is too good a player for this to continue and having already finished 5th on this course, she should at least get herself into contention again. And maybe the weather will cancel the last round!
