Matchup plays (2pts unless stated)

Michele Redman to beat Soo-Yun Kang -105 @ Pinnacle
With finishes of 7th and 8th in the two years that this course has hosted this event, Redman should be a player to side with this week. She actually finished behind Kang last year, but that was the only time in her last five starts in Arizona that she has made the cut, while over the same period Redman has finished in the top-15 every time. They have finished ahead of each other once this season, but Redman should be favoured on this course and in Arizona.

Morgan Pressel to beat Karrie Webb -133 @ Pinnacle
Even ignoring Webb's poor form at the start of the season and on this course, she is certainly opposable against Pressel who has a 6-1-0 h2h lead against over the past year  and that includes two events this year when Pressel has been ahead of Webb after every single round.

Catriona Matthew to beat Ai Miyazato +110 @ Pinnacle [4pts]
This is a price based rather more on the hype around Miyazato than her real form. She disappointed in the World Cup and has managed finishes of 48th, 24th and 56th, which are a long way from superstar form. Matthew also disappointed in Hawaii after playing so well in the World Cup, but a top-20 finish in Mexico last week earned her a six-shot victory over Miyazato and she can use her two years' of experience at Superstition Mountain (finishes of 21st and 32nd) to compound her edge over the course rookie.
