This week, the LPGA Tour travels to California for the 2022 LPGA Mediheal Championship.
Before I discuss my favorite tournament matchup bet for the LPGA Mediheal Championship let’s take a look at the top five players in scoring average on the LPGA Tour that are in this week’s field.
Top Five Golfers in Scoring Average
- Xiyu Lin 69.43
- Atthaya Thitikul 69.46
- Hye-Jin Choi 69.55
- Danielle Kang 69.75
- Celine Boutier 69.76
Now that we have determined who the top five golfers with regard to scoring average are on the LPGA Tour (in this week’s field) let’s shift our attention to my favorite tournament matchup bet for this week’s 2022 LPGA Mediheal Championship.
Celine Boutier -120 over Sei Young Kim
Since the beginning of August, Celine Boutier has played six tournaments on the LPGA Tour. In those six events just noted Boutier has accumulated an impressive five top nine finishes, including a fifth place result at the 2022 NW Arkansas Championship two weeks ago.
Celine Boutier also checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Boutier is currently ranked 19th in GIR (greens in regulation-73.25%), fifth in putts per GIR (1.74), and tenth in total birdies made (280) on the LPGA Tour.
It should also be noted that Celine Boutier finished fifth at the 2021 Mediheal Championship.
