Sei Young Kim, winner of last years Pelican Women’s Championship<\/a>, is looking to defend her title this year. Considering her performance last year, it would not surprise anyone to see her succeed. Ranked no.4 in the world, Kim has racked up considerable lifetime earnings, 58 top 10 finishes and 12 victories. <\/p>\nHowever, Kim has failed to finish better than second this year, and while that may deter some, she hasn’t finished below third or fourth in every event she has played. That says a lot about Kim’s focus, and counting her out of contention would be foolish, especially when looking at her stats. <\/p>\n
Jessica Korda<\/h3>\n
Odds to win:<\/strong> 36.00<\/p>\nThe younger of the two Korda sisters and winner of the 2011 Rookie of the Year award, Jessica Korda, is poised to have a breakout season. After winning the Diamond Resorts Tournament<\/em> in January, she went on to rack up a second place finish at the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open<\/em> in April and a third place finisher at the Pure Silk Championship<\/em> in May. <\/p>\nIf all goes well, Korda has a good chance of finishing strong, if not a shot at winning this years Pelican Women’s Championship. <\/p>\n
Ultimately, it will come down to driving distance and accuracy on the green, both of which are skills Korda has proven she possesses. While her sister may steal the show, watch for Korda to perform well. <\/p>\n
Dark Horse: Brooke Henderson<\/h3>\n
Odds to win:<\/strong> 21.00<\/p>\nWhile Canada’s Brooke Henderson is ranked tenth in the world and has one win this season at the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open<\/em>, she still gets the nod as our Dark Horse. The main reason is while a top-seeded player with multiple top 5 finishes this season, she has yet to shine like she did in 2016. <\/p>\nThe good news is, she has been competing well of late, and with a strong performance in the opening rounds, she could be in contention. With 60 top 10’s in her career and 10 victories<\/strong>, Henderson could be this years upset<\/a>. <\/p>\nOur Prediction<\/h2>\n
While our hearts want to back Brooke Henderson, the odds are more in favour of Jin Young Ho taking home the trophy. Her biggest hurdle will be Sei Young Kim, but if we are to factor in Kim’s latest results, while she will be in contention, our money is backing Jin Young Ko for the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pelican Women\u2019s Championship is set to take centre stage in the LPGA tournament schedule, and once again, the prestigious Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida will host the event.
