LPGA TOUR Betting Preview for the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship 2021

Welp. We had yet another shortened LPGA event this year last week, the course conditions just were simply unplayable. With the first two days playing as tough as it did it just would have been a massacre, at one point I think there were three times as many players +2 or worse than there were even par or better on the day. With all that said, Jin Young Ko was able to pull away and pick up her 2nd win in the last four events. Ko will look to keep that momentum going in a much stronger field this week as she continues to try and hunt Nelly back down for world #1

Which state has the most Pirates? Arrrrkansas. We are now at the Pinnacle Golf Club where this event has been hosted since its creation in 2007. Over the years we have seen some decently big names come away with the trophy including an amateur Stacy Lewis I mean the tournament was shortened to 18 holes but that’s neither here nor there. In the last five years we’ve had some birdie fests out here, with the worst score being -17. Gotta hit those greens and drain quite a few putts but obviously whoever golfs their ball better than the field will have the best chance to win.

25/1 & lower 

Patty Tavatanakit - 18/1

At the time of her 2020 appearance here this place was one of her best finishes on tour. Since then she has won a major championship and picked up two other top 10s in them. I don’t think this is too much of a shock but… she’s a better golfer now.  

25/1 - 70/1

Esther Henseleit - 50/1

In her last five non major LPGA starts she has one finish worse than 7th and that was a 34th. The German might just be on the cusps of her first LPGA victory. 

Mina Harigae - 60/1

Another week, another Mina bet. Decent finish last week, nothing spectacular. Bigger number. Let’s go.

Long Shots

Su Oh - 70/1 

First up of the two second place finishers last week. Took a long look at her when researching last week but didn’t/couldn’t pull the trigger.I’m a coward. If you would like, go DM @Tour_Junkies ask for Pat and tell him “Marcus is a coward” thanks in advance… She has been showing some decent form so I won’t let this chance slip by again

JeongEun Lee - 100/1

NOT 6. Lee is another player who’s been playing solid golf at these high prices. Nothing exciting, just decent finishes until last week with her best finish on the LPGA tour. At Pinnacle over the last four years she has three top 20’s one of which being a top 10. 

Marcus’ FOMO Bets

Yealimi Noh - 25/1

Jennifer Kupcho - 40/1

Marcus’ Unadvisable Doubles

JeongEun Lee  x USA Ryder Cup x Chargers ML - 553/1

 

Let’s Call this the Geoff Fienberg bet of the week.
