Tour Outsider: Stanford St. Jude Classic

The US PGA Tour is in Tennessee this week to play the Stanford St. Jude Classic.

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 David Toms 16.75 2 Loren Roberts 17.20 3 Matt Kuchar 17.30 4 Bob Estes 20.70 5 Tim Petrovic 20.85 6 Jeff Maggert 21.60 7 Tim Herron 24.45 8 Ted Purdy 24.65 9 Fredrik Jacobson 26.65 10 Camilo Villegas 28.65 11 Lee Janzen 30.30 12 Sean O'Hair 31.10 13 Darron Stiles 34.90 14 John Senden 35.45 15 Richard S Johnson 36.35

David Toms is always a good pick at this tournament. He likes playing in Tennessee.

Will pass on Loren Roberts. The CLi is most likely putting him near the list as he has been playing well on the Champions Tour. He plays well at this tournament, however, I do not think he will keep up with the younger guns this week.

Matt Kuchar is playing well of late.

As with Toms, Bob Estes likes this tournament and usually plays well here.

Will pass on Petrovic, Maggert, Herron, and Purdy. The reason is that I like Jacobson and Villegas.

So the Tour Outsider picks for Stanford St. Jude Classic are:

Rank Player CLi 1 David Toms 16.75 3 Matt Kuchar 17.30 4 Bob Estes 20.70 9 Fredrik Jacobson 26.65 10 Camilo Villegas 28.65

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

• 1 David Toms
• 2 Scott Verplank
• 3 Tim Herron
• 4 Loren Roberts
• 5 Tom Pernice

This week we have one player in common: David Toms.
