American Mo Martin is eyeing back-to-back titles on foreign soil, with the 2015 Ricoh Women's British Open arriving at the Trump Turnberry Golf Course in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
In addition to Martin, Inbee Park, Michelle Wie and Stacy Lewis are just a few of the other tour members in search of the LPGA's next major championship. Below is a complete preview of the weekend's event.

Odds
Unsurprisingly, Park—the current world No. 1—is the betting favorite to win the 2015 Women's British Open at 15/2 (via the Examiner). Lydia Ko is second-choice at 10/1, while Stacy Lewis (12/1), Suzann Pettersen (16/1) and So Yeon Ryu (16/1) are all considered potential favorites. Battling hip bursitis, Wie opened at a very modest 66/1.

Prediction
Park has nine top-10 finishes and three wins this season and ranks tops in scoring average (69.42), birdies (261) and rounds under par (53). All signs point to her achieving the career grand slam.
