Matchup plays (2pts unless stated)
Marisa Baena to beat Joo Mi Kim -110 @
Five
Dimes
Kim may have finished 3rd in last week's Hite Cup on the KLPGA Tour, but she had
finished 4th in that event last year and only finished 23rd in this
limited-field event the following week. In 2003, she had won the KLPGA Tour
event before this one and still only finished 25th, so last week's performance
can be discounted. And Baena did finish 11th in her last appearance in this
event, four shots ahead of Kim, and 17th in Thailand last week, so her form in
South East Asia is good enough. But it is terms of their head-to-head record,
that Baena deserves the favouritism in this match: he has finished ahead of Kim
in eight of their last nine common events.
Ran Hong to beat Ga Na Lee -145 @
Five
Dimes [6pts]
Both players have completed 12 tournaments on this year's KLPGA Tour, but Hong
(12th) has won twice as much money as Lee (23rd). In terms of their head-to-head
record, Hong leads Lee 15-4-1 in their last 20 common events and in this event
last year, Hong finished 12 shots ahead of her compatriot. I'll certainly take
these odds on Hong.
Hee Hyun Moon to beat Sun Young Yoo -128 @
Five
Dimes
Backing the rising star against a struggling LPGA Tour player. Moon has finished
21st and 14th in the last two years in this event and currently ranks 3rd on the
KLPGA Tour Money List following her victory last week - Yoo finished 50th of 60
players in Thailand last week. And Moon may be matched against Yoo more often
next year as she progressed to the LPGA Final Qualifying School in style by
winning the primary Sectional Qualifier.
