FINAL RESULT: 1-2; +0.25pts
Kerr 19th
Webb 2nd
Jang 36th
Small profit to offset against the losses on the matchups, but had
hoped for much more. Webb did get within a shot of the impressive Kim
during the last few holes, but never actually caught her, while Kerr had
looked much more promising at an early stage. She led by two shots after
the 1st round but shot three rounds of 74 thereafter.

Cristie Kerr to win 20/1 e.w. @

Florida residents tend to have a sizeable home advantage in the early
Florida events on the PGA Tour, so siding with three players with the
same advantage on this Tour. No-one is more closely linked with this
event than Kerr: she is a Miami native, a multiple winner of amateur
events in this State, has championed the return of a full-field Tour
event to Florida and is personally sponsored by Ginn Clubs and Resorts,
the sponsor of this event. If a close association with this event were
not enough, she has won five titles in the last two seasons, has five
top-10s this season already and leads the Tour in rounds under par (19
of 24), including six of her last seven. With Annika winless in her last
three events, there is certainly value in these odds.

Webb lives 50 miles north of Kerr in Boynton Beach and is ranked 2nd
behind Kerr in the 'round under par' category on Tour (14 of 18),
including her last five rounds. She comes into this event in great form
having won the Nabisco Championship in dramatic fashion and finishing
2nd last week in Georgia. But it is particularly her form in Florida
that warrants the value at this price. She has played in this State 22
times since becoming a member of this Tour, winning six times and
finishing in the top-3 on 15 occasions, which is over two-thirds of her
starts in Florida. That is a remarkable record in one location and she
looks set to continue it.

Morgan Pressel is also a local player, but currently appears to be a
player who would rather buckle than respond to such local anticipation.
Instead, Jang is a Orlando resident, which is no more than 20 minutes
drive away and so she will definitely be enjoying the benefits of a
local event. She showed impressive consistency to finish in the top-10
in more than half of her Tour starts last year (15 in 27 events) and she
already has three this season, including her last two starts. She is
moving nicely into form and with top-10 finishes in her last two starts
in Florida as well, she really should record another one this week.
