FINAL RESULT: 1-2; -0.25pts

Lee 23rd
Diaz 5th
Icher 67th

Looked very promising for a while. Diaz held a share of the lead at the end of the front nine on Sunday, but her putting was terrible thereafter. She finally missed from 5 feet on the last hole to mean that she only had a share of 5th place.

Seon Hwa Lee to win 25/1 e.w. @ William Hill
With three 2nd places already this year and in a field that misses Sorenstam, Ochoa, Webb, Kerr, Inkster, Creamer and so on, Lee should not be 25/1 even if she is a Tour rookie and so has no course form. That has not stopped her this season and will not do so again this week around a short course that will certainly suit her game. She may not have finished in the top-10 in her last three starts, but at the Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open and last week's Sybase Classic, she entered the final round in 4th place so she is still getting herself into contention. Against such a weak field, she should be able to convert this week.

Laura Diaz to win 40/1 e.w. @ BetInternet, Stan James and Ladbrokes
The Scotia native is on her way back from a pregnancy break and missed her first three cuts, but it has been a different story in her last four events. She was among the early leaders in the Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open and the Franklin American Mortgage Championship and last week she entered the final round in 4th place alongside Lee. So the competitiveness is certainly returning and that should continue this week. She became the first New Yorker to win this event in 2002 and can count on strong home support if she again gets into contention.

Karine Icher to win 50/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
A year ago, Icher held the lead after the 2nd and 3rd rounds on her debut and it was an impressive performance in the final round as she had never been in this position on the LPGA Tour. She opened with three birdies in the first five holes to stretch her lead, but the pressure of having to play in the final group with Annika Sorenstam finally told and she recorded three double-bogeys on the back nine to finish 6th. She has missed her previous cut, though she had done the same last year and she had shown good form since the start of April, so she should be confident about her return to this course ... and there is no Annika factor this week!
