Who will win the Womens British Open?

Lots of contenders but who will win it?

I listed the top 5 ranked, plus Mi Hyun Kim and Se Ri Pak very much deserved to be included for recent performances.
The different American option could of course include the likes of Pressel, Lincicome, Inskster, Hurst, Guibis and others. Good value there.
Also good value in the any other Korean group, with so many lpga winners amongst them.

Anyone else, who is in that grouping? Ai Myazato, Juri Fudoh, Julieta Granada, maybe not so many big contenders, but it's probably fair to include any anyone else option.

I'll take Wie, cause she is always near the top of the leaderboard (in LPGA events anyway). And I will also take Gulbis, cause she is bound to break through and win some time.

To me, picking against Annika is like picking against Tiger.
Hoping for a nice, close championship.

Well, I know little about the course they are playing on, but judging by the website it is fill of bunkers. Accuracy off the tee will be the deciding factor. I don't know if Wie can take a cue from Tiger and keep the driver in the bag, or if it will help. Since the LPGA doesn't post any of Wie's stats, I'm not sure where she stands in regards to sand saves, GIR, driving accuracy, etc. But I have a feeling this is the one she won't do so well at, because it's not the kind of course she is used to.

I say Mi Hyun Kim or Ochoa are as good a bet as anyone besides Annika.

I went with Karrie...she's been playing well all year and comes in off a win. Look for her to make it two in a row.

Tiger should be getting a text message about the time he heads to the range on Sunday....

Annika Sorenstam 1st
Se Ri Pak 2nd (won 2001, 2nd 2003 @ RL&SA)
Michelle Wie 3rd (6 events, 5 Top 5s)
Lorena Ochoa 4th (7 Top 2s this year)
Christina Kim (low Kim of the week)

Morgan Pressel T39th (disappointing summer continues)

OK, a little help from across the pond please....just what the heck is the LGU?

While we're at it, can you eat Weetabix??

I like Pressel but her swing changes haven't found consistent ground, though better on the weekend at Evian - disappointing - T17

Annika is my pick if the weather gets bad, because she has the mentality to fight through that, otherwise - T2

Karrie Webb is on a roll, but this is a different game - T2

Se Ri Pak I think could roll this one but will make a late charge, too late - T2

Wie's struggle with the heat, and her emotions will keep her out of the logjam at the top. Repeated "bad breaks" cause her "B game" to finish - T7

###############################################
My Pick, is Julie Inkster. She has played pretty darn well, and is a tough lady who will be able to call on alot of experience. She will birdie 17 and 18 on Sunday to win by 1...
