Tour Outsider: Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial

The US PGA Tour goes back to Texas this week to play at Colonial for the newly renamed tournament: Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Let's look at the Golf CLi and see who the top 15 players are for the tournament ranked by the CLi figure.

Rank Player CLi 1 Stewart Cink 10.75 2 Jerry Kelly 12.05 3 Rory Sabbatini 13.05 4 Rod Pampling 18.15 5 Nathan Green 18.60 6 Kevin Na 19.15 7 John Senden 29.20 8 Jonathan Byrd 32.55 9 David Toms 33.50 10 Bo Van Pelt 33.65 11 Arron Oberholser 34.75 12 Scott Verplank 34.90 13 Carl Pettersson 36.05 14 Bernhard Langer 36.50 15 Steve Stricker 37.95

I am going to keep it simple and go with the top 5 from the CLi. I feel confident that Cink, Kelly, Sabbatinin, Pampling and Green will play well this week.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial are:

Rank Player CLi 1 Stewart Cink 10.75 2 Jerry Kelly 12.05 3 Rory Sabbatini 13.05 4 Rod Pampling 18.15 5 Nathan Green 18.60

The Tour Insider's (Dave Shedloski) picks are:

• 1 David Toms

This week we have one player in common: Rod Pampling.
