Outright play (1pt staked)

Shanshan Feng 0.5pt ew @ 40/1 (General)

5th in 1 year scoring avg, 6th in 8 week scoring avg. That lines up with her price most weeks of between 18 and 22-1. In her last 25 starts around the world she has two LPGA and one LET win. She's only once missed the cut and only four times been outside the top 20 (other than the MC none worse than T30). She was third on her penultimate LPGA start and led with 18 holes to play two weeks ago in Japan. The drop to 40/1 looks wrong to me.

Result -1pt (Feng 7th making it three weeks on the bounce we've clipped the cross bar) 

(Adding a long term play: Europe to win the Solheim Cup 3pts at 2/1 (VC)

I'm not discounting an American fightback to the last two defeats, but this price is wrong - the next best is 6/4. Europe can retain most of its strengths from last time and has ten players who have won 50% or more of their points. The US has only four in that position - of those Wie might not play because of injury and Creamer actually started crying when the Solheim Cup was brought up at the RWBO. The European team is not without doubts (form of Hedwall for example) but the backroom team is strong and there is a core of players who thrive on and love team golf.)
