Pak finished in the lower half of the table and still managed to beat two out of three selections. Hurst did beat her, but of 16 selections this week, that was the only winner. Ouch!

 

Matchup plays (2pts unless stated):

Jeong Jang to beat Sophie Gustafson -120 @ SkyBet
Jang may have trailed behind Gustafson in each of the last two years here - and only by one and two shots respectively - but she comes into this event in very good form with top-10 finishes in three of her last four LPGA Tour starts and a win in the Japan Women's Open two weeks ago. With a 13-5-1 h2h record over the last year on this Tour in her favour, it should be more than enough to overcome two narrow defeats on this course.

Hee-Won Han to beat Se Ri Pak -134 @ Five Dimes
Opposing Pak who has withdrawn from two of her last four events with a recurring neck injury and finished 50th in her last outing, the Longs Drugs Challenge, three weeks ago. This injury cut short her recovery to form when she had two months of high finishes following her victory in the McDonald's LPGA Championship. Pak finished ahead of Han in four events in that period, but has since trailed her every time since, just as she did when she last played on this course in 2004. That year, she finished last and 19 shots behind Han.

Pat Hurst to beat Se Ri Pak -134 @ Five Dimes
It is a similar story with Hurst who has shown good form this season with four top-3 finishes in the last five months and has finished ahead of Pak in each of their last four common events. She also finished 7th on this course last year.

Mi Hyun to beat Se Ri Pak -152 @ Five Dimes [4pts]
But in even better form is Mi Hyun KIm who has finished ahead of Pak in 25 of 29 common strokeplay events since the start of last season. With a record of eight top-10 finishes in Kim's last ten events in California, it should really take an exception performance by Pak to beat her compatriot this week.
