Catriona Matthew will face some stiff competition this week at the 2010 Ricoh Women's British Open Championship. The Scottish golfer will defend her 2009 Open title against some of the LPGA's hottest stars at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England.

As the women prepare for the championship, let's take a look at who could potentially come out on top in 2010.

Australia's Karrie Webb may not be playing her best golf as of late, having finished at +1 on Sunday at the Evian Masters and +9 at the U.S. Women's Open, but don't count her out this week. Webb seems to do well at the British Open. She won the championship in 1995 (before it was a major) and also in 2002. Last year, Webb came in just behind Matthew, losing the championship by three strokes. There is no doubt that Webb will be going after another win this year.

Paula Creamer, the Pink Panther of the U.S., recently won her first major championship at the 65th U.S. Women's Open earlier this month. Creamer finished last year's British Open tied for third at +1. Hungry for another major championship victory, Creamer is sure to bring her 'A' game this week. Be on the watch for her come Sunday.

Morgan Pressel is coming off a tie for second place at the Evian Masters with a final score of -13. Pressel, a Florida native, can be a real threat on the golf course when she is on her game. Though she struggled during last year's Open, finishing at +13, expect her to play well this week.

And last, but definitely not least, the 2010 Evian Masters Champion and number one in the Rolex Rankings, Jiyai Shin is sure to be on the leaderboard this week. After all, she already holds seven top-10 finishes out of 10 events this year and it doesn't look like she will be slowing down anytime soon.

No matter who takes home the title, the 2010 Ricoh Women's British Open Championship should make for an exciting weekend. Check it out airing July 29 through Aug....
