Women’s Open predictions

The Golfing Gazette writers have made their predictions for the Women’s Open this week.

James Shearman: Ariya Jutanugarn won the Women’s Open back in 2016, her first of two major championship victories, and she has finished in the top 10 at the event three times since. The Thai golfer has not won any tournament since 2021, but she’s in great form heading into this week.

Jordan Harris: So much of the attention will be on the likes of Nelly Korda and Lottie Woad this week, but Angel Yin has three major top 10s in a row now. She also has finished in the top 10 in each of the last two Women’s Opens. Yin is also the best putter on the LPGA this season.
