In fact, you could argue this is the time to fade Korda and take advantage of the longer odds on her competitors.to win the U.S. Women’s Open, which is being played at Lancaster Country Club. The next closest in the odds is Rose Zhang at +1800. That means you’re getting a 14.4-to-1 advantage in the odds to bet on the second favorite versus the first.
While her present form can’t be ignored, it seems this week is a good time to take advantage of her competitors' long odds.

That’s a good recipe for success this year too.
When the U.S. Women’s Open was at Lancaster in 2015, Henderson fired a Sunday 66 to finish T5. In her career, she has three Top 10 finishes at the U.S. Women’s Open and the last two years she finished 12th and T15, respectively.This year, Henderson has yet to win, but does have three top 5s including T3 at the Chevron, and two additional top-10 finishes.
Green has two wins this season and went toe-to-toe with Korda at the Mizuho Americas Open before finishing second. She’s sixth on tour in total shots gained and 11th in strokes-gained approach. Most importantly, she’s put together her three best driving performances in the leadup to this event. She’s played in five U.S. Women’s Opens and had ber best finish last year, placing T13. She also was at Lancaster as a spectator the last time the event was played here, so at minimum she understands what it will feel like heading down the stretch.Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.2 Minutes AgoBrian Giuffra is the VP of Betting Content at Minute Media and has been with the company since 2016.
