Outright plays (3pts)

K Webb 1pt ew @ 40/1 (Ladbrokes, Coral)

Always of interest because, despite winning three times in 2013 and twice last year, proof she's not yet done at the top level, she often drifts of this sort of price. She also has a superb Florida record, albeit the wins came a long while ago (as noted at the end of last year). The clincher this week is this: she played this course 20 years ago as a Symetra Tour rookie. She not only won but formed a friendship with a couple who became her "US parents" and who are something of a lucky charm when they watch her (their first four LPGA visits prompted two wins and two seconds).

J Korda 0.5pt ew @ 66/1 (Ladbroeks, Spreadex)

Another double winner from last year and a Florida resident also. Persuader is her record in the first event of the year: 51-1-5-1. Hopefully she doesn't finish 15th. 

Result +5.75pts (Korda T2 and a touch unlucky - her eagle putt on the last to make what was ultimately the winning score lipped out)
