Drive on Championship 2021 Betting Picks
25/1 & lowerÂ
Lydia Ko - 11/1 (DK Sportsbook)
Ko was the 36 hole leader at last week's event, She hasn’t won one tour since 2018 BUT in her last 6 events she’s had 5 top 10’s and heading to a place where she has finished T2/T3 the last two trips to Golden Ocala. The number might be short but it’s time Ko gets back in the winner circle.
Lexi Thompson - 14/1 (DK Sportsbook)
Everyone look out now, after a missed cut at the US Open Lexi has reeled off three straight top 10s. Finishing in 2nd last week she is looking to grab another title here soon. Finished 9th here in 2016
25/1-75/1
In Gee Chun - 50/1 (PointsBet)
Another player that hasn’t won since 2018, a former LPGA winner and US Open champion, Chun has started her first two events of 2021 with a 4th and an 8th. Finished 3rd in her prior appearance at this course in 2016. Putter has looked strong.
Sophia Popov - 70/1 (DK Sportsbook)
After winning the AIG Women’s Open last year she was the center of a huge debate when it came to non-LPGA members and their exemptions. She has started 2021 getting better in each of her two starts with a 10th and an 8th. Last time she had two progressing top 10’s she won the aforementioned major. Wrote her up last week and going back to the well
Brittany Lincicome - 70/1 (PointsBet)
Going back to Lincicome as well. Came out firing on Thursday then a 73 on Friday sent her down the leaderboard a bit and ended the week with a 24th.Â
Long Shots
Lauren Stephenson - 250/1 (DK Sportsbook)
Coming off a 36th place finish last week, If I put her and Keegan’s last events stats side by side you would have a hard time figuring out who was who’s. She hit a staggering 82% of her GIRs and Scrambled at a 66% clip. Then we scroll a bit more and see she averaged 32 putts a round good for 100th in the field of 120. YIKES
