Odds

There are no surprises when considering the tournament favorites in Vancouver. Park (+450), Ko (+900) and Ryu (+1200) have all separated themselves from the field and enter the weekend as prohibitive favorites. Of the three, however, Park is the only one to leave the event empty handed. Like Ryu, Ko was victorious in 2013.

Prediction

Speaking of Park, there's always a first time for everything. Fresh off her Women's British Open victory—the missing piece to a career grand slam—the world No. 1 boasts a combined four Tour titles this calendar year. All signs point to the Canadian Pacific Women's Open being her fifth.
