Matchup plays (1.5pts unless stated):

Jeong Jang to beat Heather Bowie -118 @ Centrebet and SuperOdds [3pts]
Easy to side with a player fresh off two top-5 finishes and boasts a 17-6-0 h2h record against her opponent over the past year

Catriona Matthew to beat Paula Creamer -110 @ BetFred
Did consider Matthew for the outright market, but her ability to finish close and not win is a concern. She has finished 3rd in four of her last six events. But that level of consistent leaderboard positioning does make her a good player to back in the matchups and she has finished ahead of Creamer in their last four common events, including last week when she finished 19 shots ahead of opponent over just three rounds.

Rosie Jones to beat Laura Davies -110 @ BetFred
Opposing Davies even though she did finish 3rd last week as she no longer has the control to compete in major championships. She has missed the cut in this event in two of the last three years and in the season's first major, she trails Jones by 11 shots. In fact, the only time that Davies has finished ahead of Jones this year was at the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship when Jones had had her clubs stolen.

Stacy Prammanasudh to beat Karine Icher -111 @ Centrebet and SuperOdds [4.5pts]
Huge difference in class between these two players. Two top-15 finishes in five starts on the LPGA Tour this season for Icher does not compare well with five in the last six for Prammanasudh, including one victory. Add in Icher's major championship performances - a best finish of 51st and five missed cuts in seven major starts - and this should be a straightforward win for the outright selection.
