1-3; +4.75pts
Welcome back to the 2007 LPGA season and I am pleased to say that 2007 starts
with a LOCK STOCK winner in Lorena Ochoa. I have been in close contact with her
caddy and he has told me that she has been working even harder on her game in
recent weeks and last week played with fellow Mexican pros and shot a smooth 61
and is more than happy with her game. The 11/2 (Tote;
4pts win-only) is a big price in my opinion and she has to be backed. 4th Last year
she lost in a play-off but this year I only see one outcome and that's the Ochoa
train steam rolling over the rest on route to an amazing year where if you don't
mind long term bets then the 7/4 (Stan James
and Bet365;
6pts win-only) offered about her winning the Order of Merit is probably the
biggest lock in Golf this year. 1st (provisional)
Another player that I feel should play well at a price is Gloria Park. She took
a while to get going last season but finished the year really strong. She also
got married in the off season and now has that feel good factor going for her. I
recently spoke to her and she is very excited to get back on the course.

My last tip is a player who I feel is going to have a breakthrough year. Young
Kim has been close to winning many tournaments in the past couple of seasons but
just stumbled over the last few holes but I really feel that the end of season
tournament (Lexus Cup) has given her the self belief that she can go on now and
win tournaments.

These last two players are a small wager bet because if you took my advise last
year on Ochoa when I tipped her up at the Wendy's Championship for Children then
this I think is even more of a certainty.
