Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts)
Jeong Jang to win 20/1 e.w. @ BetInternet, Victor Chandler and IASbet
Paula Creamer looks to be the form player this week, but with no course form, odds of 12/1 seem about right. Instead, I'll side with two experienced players and an amateur. Jang has never won on this Tour, but has improved in each of the last four years in the Money List, finishing 12th last year and has similarly been in contention many times this year. In her last five strokeplay events, she has finished in the top-5 three times and she has finished in the top-15 in four of five visits to this venue. At level of consistency, she should feature on Sunday.
Heather Bowie to finish in the top-five 13/2 @ Expekt
Bowie has never won on this Tour either and so the larger place-only odds are the best option with this play. But like Jang, she has very good course form and has been playing very well this year, ranking 12th in scoring average and only four of the players above her are competing this week. She has five top-10 finishes already this year and in five visits to Highland Meadows, she has finished in the top-5 three times. On none of those occasions was she playing as well as she is doing at the moment.
Morgan Pressel to win 33/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
In 2001, Pressel qualified for the U.S. Women's Open at the age of 13; four years later, she finished 2nd. And it was not that great a surprise. She had been 5th with a round to play in the first major of the season, the Nabisco Championship, and had finished in the top-25 in her previous three LPGA Tour events in 2005. While Michelle Wie may be making the headlines for two days at the John Deere Classic, the No.1 ranked amateur looks certainly good enough to making even bigger headlines on Sunday evening.

Matchup plays (1.5pts unless stated):
Brittany Lang to beat Marisa Baena -119 @ Expekt [4.5pts]
Easy to oppose the winner of last week's match play champion. The surprise winner completed six rounds in four days and there should be an after-effect on tiredness, at the very least. This will be Lang's first tournament as a pro having just finished 2nd in the U.S. Women's Open. She has also finished ahead of Baena in both their common events this year, by margins of six and seven shots.
Heather Bowie to beat Birdie Kim -118 @ Centrebet
Kim may be the U.S. Women's Open champion, but that is Ben Curtis-like in terms of freak results. Bowie has great course form and has a career record of 24-2 h2h against Kim. That makes her a very large favourite in my book!

Natalie Gulbis to beat Meg Mallon -105 @ Centrebet
Pretty hard to argue with a 9-0 h2h lead in 2005!
(also available at Five Dimes)
Jennifer Rosales to beat Rachel Hetherington -109 @ Expekt [3pts]
Difficult to argue with Hetherington's course form, but having finished behind Rosales in her last three strokeplay events, finished ahead of her only twice in their last ten common events and having shot just one round in the 60s in her last 19 rounds, she will certainly struggle to maintain that course form this year. Rosales was a top-10 finisher two years ago and looks more likely to be inside that mark this year.

Morgan Pressel to beat Gloria Park +100 @ NordicBet [4.5pts]
Expecting a big week from Pressel, so loading up on the matchups as well! Pressel has finished ahead of Park in four of their five common events and Park has a poor record around this course: a best-finish of 28th in five attempts and just two of 18 rounds under 70.
Morgan Pressel to beat Nicole Perrot -114 @ Centrebet [4.5pts]
Can't understand the selection of Perrot as an opponent for Pressel in this matchup. She has never played this course, has missed four of her last seven cuts and her last top-10 finish in a strokeplay event was three months ago. No match for Pressel!

Jang 5th
Bowie 1st
Pressel 23rd
Unbelievable! Tipped Tim Clark place-only as he had never won outside South Africa and he won the Scottish Open and tipped Heather Bowie as she had never won on the LPGA Tour and she won this event! Deprived myself of 36pts!!! Bowie beat Park in a three-hole playoff, while Jang, who had been best-placed in 2nd with one round to play, could only manage a two-way share of 5th place. This could have been such a great week!
