The Ascendant
September 29, 2022 7:20 am EDT
This week, the LPGA Tour travels to Texas for the 2022 Ascendant.
Before I discuss my favorite golf bet for this week’s LPGA Tour event let’s take a look at the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most important to success at this week’s 2022 Ascendant (formerly the Volunteers Of America Classic).
The Ascendant will be played at the Old American Golf Club in The Colony, Texas. This golf course is a par 71 that measures 6,459 yards. This track will present this week’s field with three par five holes. This track also features 123 bunkers that are strategically placed throughout the golf course.
The Old American Golf Club has hosted this week’s LPGA Tour event since it’s inception in 2018.
The key player statistics that I will be focusing on this week are GIR (greens in regulation), driving accuracy, and putts per GIR.
Now let’s shift our attention to my favorite golf bet for the 2022 Ascendant.
Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top ten.
Jeongeun Lee6 +400
Three weeks ago, Jeongeun Lee6 fired a second round 63 at the 2022 Kroger Queen City Championship en route to an eventual fourth place finish.
Jeongeun Lee6 also checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course history. More specifically, Lee6 has played this week’s LPGA Tour event three times since 2019. In those three tournaments just noted, Lee6 has accumulated an impressive three top 16 finishes, including a seventh place result at the 2021 Volunteers Of America Classic.
In summary, I am backing Jeongeun Lee6 to top ten at odds of +400.
