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.
