Betting Preview
Outright Winner
Picking a winner from the vast field assembled at Pebble Beach could be somewhat of a lottery but here are our top 5 selections for Women’s US Open glory in 2023:-
At the age of just 20, Rose Zhang has long been touted as a serious talent for the future in women’s golf and how a statement win here at the US Open, at Pebble Beach, would do her status a world of good.
World number two Ko Jin-young is still awaiting that breakthrough win at major tournament level, but she is one of the very best performers on the LPGA Tour and she will be desperate to showcase her many talents at Pebble Beach.
Remarkably, it has been almost a decade since Kim Hyo-Joo won the only major of her career at the Evian Championships and with some excellent recent form, the South Korean looks well placed to challenge seriously this weekend.
Irishwoman Leona Maguire has been waiting to make the step up at the elite level for a short while now and she looks to have the game to seriously contend here in California, following a top 10 finish at the LPGA Championship last month.
World number one Atthaya Thitikul is unanimously the player to beat in every event she plays and whilst she hasn’t been in the best of form over the past few events, ruling her out completely is a very dangerous thing to do.
Top 5 Finish
Major championship golf never fails to provide drama and this year’s Women’s US Open promises to be no different.
Going deep in a major is deemed as the ultimate test for any golfer and there are plenty of players that have had experience at going the distance in this year’s US Open field:-
Here are some punts that could finish in the top 5 come the weekend:-
American Nelly Korda is always one of the key players to beat in any field, with her ball striking abilities unrivalled and how she would love to challenge from the outset here at Pebble Beach.
Two-time major winner Brooke Henderson always loves playing at the big events and having been in contention for most of the USLPGA last time out, how she would love to back that up this weekend in California.
Defending champion Minjee Lee is a serial winner at this level and whilst the previous 12 months have been a little inconsistent for the Australian, she has the game to mount a serious challenge here at Pebble Beach.
