Odds

With no Inbee Park present to tempt the oddsmakers, Lydia Ko enters the weekend as a resounding favorite. Having posted consecutive tied-for-third performances, the 18-year-old opened at +600 according to Bovada. So-yeon (+800) and Stacy Lewis (+900) are second and third-choice, respectively.

Prediction

Experience will win out at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. Like Ko, So-yeon is also riding stellar form, having finished in the top four in each of her last two events. Seven years Ko's elder, the 25-year-old has 49 career top 10s and will earn her fourth career victory on Sunday.
