FINAL RESULT: 2-3; -9.06pts Ahn/Lee WON
by 5
Ahn/Diaz TIED (Loss)
Gulbis/Pak LOST by 3
Hurst/Pak LOST by 5
Pressel/Jones WON by 1 Incredible! Gulbis had never missed a cut on this
course or in her last 20 starts, but she did so this week. Similarly, Hurst had
never missed a cut on this course or in her last 9 starts, but she did so this
week. And they only had to beat a player who finished 45th. And then there was
Shi Hyun Ahn who looked like running away with this event on Thursday, but
gradually fell down to the leaderboard to finally reach Diaz in the last few
holes on Sunday. It would have been a break-even event had she won, but the tie
meant a lost wager and a bad loss. Matchup plays (4pts unless stated) Shi Hyun Ahn to beat Meena Lee -133

Centrebet
Difficult to argue against a 7-0-1 h2h record since the middle of March!
Shi Hyun Ahn to beat Laura Diaz -110 @
BetFred
And against a 9-1-2 h2h record over the last eleven months! But a post-pregnancy
Diaz is now far more competitive on Tour, but still she has finished ahead of
Ahn just once this year (ShopRite LPGA Classic) and that was by a single shot.
Ahn really is a model of consistency and so should be a good money-maker in the
matchups. Natalie Gulbis to beat Se Ri Pak -111 @
Expekt
[6pts]
It was a pretty sensational win by Pak in the McDonald's LPGA Championship two
weeks ago, but with just one other top-20 finish this season, it is a little
early to proclaim that she is back to her best. She may have another week like
that, but otherwise she should struggle to beat a player who has finished no
worse than 27th in 13 events this year. Pat Hurst to beat Se Ri Pak +125
@
Pinnacle
[6pts]
And similar reasons here. Hurst has been quietly extremely consistent with eight
top-20 finishes in nine events over the last three months and that does include
three top-5 finishes in her last five starts. When Pak won the McDonald's LPGA
Championship, it should be remembered that Hurst held a two-way share of the
lead heading into the final round. Her course form may be rather average, but in
this vein of form, she is being competitive every week she plays. Morgan
Pressel to beat Rosie Jones -125 @
The Greek
Jones may be the leading money-winner in this event, but this appears to be one
season to far with her. She is struggling physically to play and she was one of
the shortest hitters on Tour when fit. This is Pressel's matchup to lose as the
only times that she has finished behind to Jones in their last ten common events
have been when she has missed the cut (Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open) or finished
69th (McDonald's LPGA Championship). |
