Tour Outsider: Memorial Tournament

The US PGA Tour goes to Ohio this week to play at Jack Nicklaus' Muirfield Village for The Memorial Tournament.

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 Phil Mickelson 5.30 2 Tiger Woods 5.50 3 Stewart Cink 8.50 4 Jim Furyk 10.35 5 Zach Johnson 12.20 6 Vijay Singh 15.40 7 Carl Pettersson 17.80 8 Adam Scott 18.85 9 Jerry Kelly 19.45 10 Sean O'Hair 20.25 11 K.J. Choi 23.45 12 Nick O'Hern 23.75 13 Tom Lehman 24.65 14 Peter Lonard 26.05 15 Brett Wetterich 26.70

As with last week, I am going to keep it simple and go with the top 5 from the CLi. The top 5 look good: Mickelson, Woods, Cink, Furyk, and Johnson. Singh is just outside of the top 5, and he would probably be a good pick. However, I will stick with what the CLi says this week.

So the Tour Outsider picks for The Memorial Tournament are:

Rank Player CLi 1 Phil Mickelson 5.30 2 Tiger Woods 5.50 3 Stewart Cink 8.50 4 Jim Furyk 10.35 5 Zach Johnson 12.20

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

• 1 Jim Furyk
• 2 Harrison Frazar
• 3 Tiger Woods
• 4 Jerry Kelly
• 5 Tom Lehman

This week we have two players in common: Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk.

It is interesting to see that the Tour Insider picked Frazar, as he is not even in the field from what I can tell at this point in the week. Frazar does play well at the Memorial, so maybe Frazar will be added to the field sometime later this week.
