Matchup plays (2pts unless stated)

Cristie Kerr to beat Juli Inkster -120 @ The Greek
Was reluctant to take the 16/1 available on Kerr to win only because she played in the 3-Tour Challenge in Nevada on Tuesday and fatigue may have been an issue, but Inkster also played in that event so it is not a factor for this matchup. In fact, if anything, the younger player should be the one who recovers the better. Both players have been in good form, even if only playing sparsely on Inkster's part, but the primary factor here is course form. Kerr has finished ahead of Inkster in each of the last four years with Inkster's best-ever finish on this course being 9th. That would not be enough to get her to the final round shootout this year (Kerr has finished in the top-3 twice in the last three years).

Jeong Jang to beat Ai Myazato -118 @ Centrebet [4pts]
Huge difference in consistency on the LPGA Tour between these two - Jang has more than twice as many top-10 finishes as Miyazato this year - and in terms of their head-to-head record, Jang leads Miyazato 10-4 this year in events in North America. With the Japanese player also making her debut on this course and Jang finishing in the top-10 in each of the last two years, this should be decided before Sunday.

Annika Sorenstam to beat Lorena Ochoa +100 @ The Greek [6pts]
This price is clearly based on a 18-hole shootout between Sorenstam and Ochoa on Sunday and while that is likely to be the case, there is a much stronger possibility that Ochoa will be the one who fails to get there. In the five years that this course has hosted this event, Sorenstam has finished 1st three times and 2nd twice; Ochoa has finished 21st, 17th and 26th. That's quite a difference and with the added pressure of going for four consecutive wins on this Tour, Ochoa will surely be the one to struggle out of these two.

Annika Sorenstam to beat Karrie Webb -145 @ The Greek
Not quite the same difference in course form, but 10th, 3rd and 22nd in the last three years for Webb hardly compares to Sorenstam's record. And in her last start in North America, she finished 13th of 20 players in the Samsung World Championship, so Webb is another who is not certain to reach the last round.
