Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic Winner #1:Lexi Thompson

Despite not massive odds, we have to go with the 2nd favourite to win the tournament Lexi Thompson. In the two previous years at this course, she has finished #2 and #1. You just can’t argue with a track record like that.

Stacy Lewis is of course the top money earner but she hasn’t been impressive lately. Since winning the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship she hasn’t had any Top 10 finishes.

Sure – Thompson is in a similar state – but this is a course where she can really get her game back on, and her tied for 10 finish in the Evian Championship means she is just warming up for this one.

Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic Winner #2:Mi Jung Hur

Tied for 3rd in the last tournament out, Mi Jung Hur had a 3rd finish at the Yokohama tire LPGA Classic in 2012.

Mi Jung Hur has been running hot lately after a poor season. She has had many cuts, and very few money finishes, but we’ve finally seen some consistency. Mi Jung Hur finished tied for 9th at the Portland Classic, and of course as mentioned 3rd at the Evian Championship. Who knows what would have happened if she hadn’t struggled on the 3rd round – but the 40/1 price on her is massive and there is value in her.

Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic Winner #3: Angela Stanford

Angela Stanford is one of those golfers who runs hot and cold. After two hot finishes of 2nd and 5th back in the Summer, she’s been on a poor run although still managed to get some money finishes.

The Evian Championship withstanding, Stanford is someone who generally performs well on the same courses as previous years. Considering a tied for 3rd place finish in 2012, she’s easily worth a bet here at the 28/1 odds.
