Outright play (1pt staked)

B Lang 0.5pt ew at 40/1 (General)

2nd, 4th and 11th at the course, current form a bit tight as the race to make the Solheim Cup neared its close, but she played well a few weeks ago. Now Juli Inkster has given her the nod playing the old post-getting-the-captain's-pick card. 

Result -1pt (That's now 4 weeks of near things. This time -7 thru 12 holes but only -1 thru the next 60 to be T13) 

 (Advised 20th August: 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.)
