U.S. Women’s Open odds: Sei Young Kim tabbed as pre-tournament favorite

The world’s second-ranked player is the odds-on favorite entering this week’s U.S. Women’s Open.

Sei Young Kim, who sits only behind world No. 1 Jin Young Ko in the current Rolex Rankings, is listed by PointsBet Superbook as a 9-to-1 favorite to win the LPGA’s final major championship at Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas.

Kim has won two straight events heading into this week, though the victories came six weeks apart. She won the KPMG Women’s PGA in October before capturing the Pelican Women’s Championship last month.

Inbee Park, twice a U.S. Women’s Open champion, is listed at 11-1, followed by Danielle Kang at 12-1, Brooke Henderson at 16-1 and two players at 18-1, Ko and Hye Jin Choi.
