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.
