Outright plays (1.5pts):
Hee-Won Han to win 25/1 e.w. @ SkyBet and Ladbrokes
Good price for a player who in the three weeks has reached a playoff, finished 3rd and was lying 4th with one round to play in the last event. She is clearly in excellent form and with Sorenstam making her first start in five weeks, she can certainly win this week. It also helps that Meg Mallon and others are not on the starting sheet.
Laura Diaz to win 40/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes
Backed Diaz at 30/1 last week with no Sorenstam in the field, so 40/1 seems a fair price. Once again, she fell back in the 4th round as after three rounds her positions in her last six events have been 4th, 10th, 12th, 2nd, 4th and 8th. It is therefore a good thing that this is a 54-hole event! Playing well enough to win if she can secure a good final round, these odds are generous enough.
Catriona Matthew to win 50/1 e.w. @ William Hill
It was Matthew who defeated Han in the playoff for the Wendy's Championship for Children and with finishes of 6th and 9th in her two other starts in the past month, she is also clearly a player in good form. With Cedar Ridge being used for the first time, then it must surely be current form that will be most important this week and few in this field can match these three in that department.
