This is my 4th preview post for the LPGA State Farm Classic at Mostly Harmless (you can check out my previous previews from 2008, 2009, and 2010 for yourself), so by now my regular readers know the drill: Panther Creek is a course where you can go low and go home; the winner will need to break 70 all 4 rounds, or shoot in the mid-60s at least twice, or get into the low 60s at least once; and the weather may play a big role (this year, if it happens it'll probably be on Thursday and/or Friday). Whoever handles the heat (literal and figurative) best wins. For more previews, see posts by Hound Dog and Tony Jesselli and articles by the LPGA, Dave Kane, and Steve DiMeglio.
With the field list, tournament history, and Hound Dog's Hot 20 in mind, here are my picks for this week's PakPicker at Seoul Sisters.com:
1. Kim In-Kyung
2. Kerr
3. Pettersen
4. Shin Ji-Yai
5. Yang, Amy
6. Tseng
7. Choi Na Yeon
8. Nordqvist
9. Lincicome
10. Pressel
11. Webb
12. Feng
Alts: Creamer, Yoo, Dunn

This morning I was going to post something about undervaluing Mindy Kim, but I really didn't have time to do so. Now she's leading after round one. Will she win? I wouldn't put money on it, but I think another top ten is in the cards for her. Soon all y'all will have her in your Pak Picker, or whatever that is.
