Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts)
Paula Creamer to win 16/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes
Last week's lowly finish was to be expected. She had never played the course previously and she was coming off a wire-to-wire win in Japan the previous week. A return to her previous form or at least her form of last week's first round is expected this week on a course on which she has previously competed - she finished 18th last year. This year she is a very different player with three wins and five top-3 finishes in her last ten strokeplay events. With Annika making her course debut and with only one win in her last five starts (against a much weaker field in Sweden), this looks a very good chance for another Creamer win.
Hee-Won Han to win 22/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Han's record in this event and in Ohio is definitely worthy of note! In three attempts in this event, she has finished 2nd in 2002, 1st in 2003 and 2nd only via a playoff loss last year; in her other Ohio event, the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, she has finished 2nd and 3rd (last month) in her last two visits. So with a top-3 finish in Ohio last month and a top-10 finish in the Safeway Classic last week, the signs are that she will continue her amazing form at Tartan Fields.
Soo-Yun Kang to win 125/1 e.w. @ BetFred
Does the BetFred compiler know that Kang was a wire-to-wire winner last week? It was her maiden win on the LPGA Tour, but having been a multiple winner of the KLPGA Money List before earning her LPGA Tour Card, she certainly has the potential to follow up her impressive win. Available at no more than 66/1 elsewhere, at which I would be hesitant at that price, she is extremely overpriced at these odds.
