Tour Outsider: Wyndham Championship

The US PGA Tour heads to the Carolinas to play the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro

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 Charles Warren 4.80 2 K.J. Choi 5.05 3 Joe Ogilvie 11.65 4 Steve Flesch 13.35 5 Jonathan Byrd 13.40 6 Michael Allen 20.00 7 Lucas Glover 20.35 8 Tim Herron 21.05 9 Ryan Palmer 21.45 10 Kevin Sutherland 22.40 11 Jason Dufner 23.80 12 Charlie Wi 25.85 13 Kent Jones 25.95 14 Briny Baird 27.55 15 Chris Couch 28.00

The top 7 or 8 players in the list look good for this tournament. However, I can only pick 5 players. So, I am going to pick the to 4 (Warren, Choi, Ogilvie, and Flesch), skip on Byrd, and pick Glover. The reason why I am skipping Byrd is because he has not played much over the past 4-6 weeks for some reason. He has only played in the British Open and the PGA Championship these past 4 weeks. He missed the cut in both of those majors. So don't know if he is 100% healthy at this point and thus can't risk picking him this week.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Wyndham Championship are:

Rank Player CLi 1 Charles Warren 4.80 2 K.J. Choi 5.05 3 Joe Ogilvie 11.65 4 Steve Flesch 13.35 7 Lucas Glover 20.35

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

• 1 K.J. Choi
• 2 Steve Flesch
• 3 Joe Durant
• 4 John Senden
• 5 Davis Love III

This week we have 2 players in common: Choi and Flesch.

[ UPDATE 2007-08-14 4:40pm: Choi, Flesch, and Love III have all withdrawn from the tournament as of Tuesday, 2007-08-14. Since I had picked Choi and Flesch, and they both withdrew, I would pick Tim Herron and Kevin Sutherland in place of them. However, I need to keep my original picks as it would not be fair to change them when Dave Shedloski can't change his. ]
