Ladbrokes, Skybet and Bet365 make Thompson an 8-to-1 favorite. StanJames.com makes her the 9-to-1 favorite.
Thompson has finished T-2 or better in five of her last seven worldwide starts.
Rolex world No. 1 So Yeon Ryu and No. 2 Ariya Jutanugarn share the spot behind Thompson on the various betting lists.
Here are Ladbrokes’ listings:
Lexi Thompson 8/1
Ariya Jutanugarn 10/1
So Yeon Ryu 12/1
Lydia Ko 12/1
In Gee Chun 14/1
In Bee Park 14/1
Sung Hyun Park 20/1

Moriya has yet to win an LPGA title but is on a hot streak. She tied for second at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship on Sunday and has finished T-7 or better in her last four starts. Minjee Lee is also listed above Ko at 22/1 by Bet365, with Skybet and StanJames.com also listing Lee above Ko.
