Outright Picks - LPGA Tour

Wegmans Rochester LPGA (1.5pts):
Grace Park to win 12/1 e.w. @
SkyBet and
Paddy Power
There are only three players who average less than 70 strokes per round
on Tour this season and have sided with two of them. Park is clearly the
#2 player on Tour at the moment with six top-3 finishes in ten starts
this year, while the rest were all in the top-20. She finished 3rd from
off the pace and with Annika Sorenstam not having won on this course and
having even avoided this event for the past three years, this could be
very opportunity for Park's 2nd win of the season.
Lorena Ochoa to win 18/1 e.w. @
SkyBet
Similar story here. She ranks 3rd in scoring average on Tour and has
eight top-10 finishes in ten starts this year, including a win last
month. She bettered Park to finish 2nd on her debut on this course last
year and looks set for yet another very high finish.
Juli Inkster to win 33/1 e.w. @
Stan James
Inkster has clearly learned how to play this course. With five missed
cuts and a best finish of 19th from 1988 to 1996, Inkster has since
returned to Locust Hill only twice, but on those occasions she has
finished 2nd and 5th. Having also rediscovered her game in the past six
weeks with finishes of 2nd, 6th and 4th in three of her four starts, she
looks to be in good form and should maintain her impressive recent
course form.
Final update: 0-3; -4.50pts
Park wd
Ochoa 66th
Inkster 14th
Not optimistic of a profitable event once Park walked off the course
in the first round with a bad back. Inkster had been as high as 2nd
towards the end of her 3rd round, but never looked like getting back
there again.
