Matchup plays (1.5pts unless stated):

Brittany Lang to beat Moira Dunn -111 @ Centrebet
Quite a difference in form between these two. In Lang's last three events, she has finished 15th, 2nd (U.S. Women's Open) and was 4th at the cut last week; Dunn has missed two cuts and exited the Women's Match Play event after the 1st round. With a new course being used, any disadvantage to the rookie is negated and she should win this match with ease.

Young Jo to beat A.J. Eathorne -114 @ Expekt [3pts]
Also Birdie Kim-like in her recent discovery of form, Jo has finished 6th in the U.S. Women's Open and 12th in the Jamie Farr Owens Kroger Classic in her last two starts, though she had shown good form at the start of her rookie year. If she can continue that form, she will certainly beat the home player. Eathorne has just one top-30 finish from 12 strokeplay events this year and other than a 28th place finish in this event, her best finish in six LPGA Tour starts in her home country is 50th.

Leta Lindley to beat A.J. Eathorne -115 @ Centrebet [4.5pts]
If there is a concern in the previous match that Jo's form may only be temporary, that is not the case with this match. Lindley leads Eathorne 34-11-3 h2h since the start of the 2002 season and 8-3-0 this year in strokeplay events. She has finished ahead of Eathorne in five of six common events in Canada and comes into the event on the back of four straight top-25 finishes. Eathorne will need much more than home support if she is to make this match competitive.
