Tour Outsider: Viking Classic

The US PGA Tour heads to the south United States for the Viking Classic in Madison, Mississippi.

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 Carl Pettersson 5.80 2 Charlie Wi 6.85 3 Heath Slocum 10.60 4 Brett Wetterich 12.60 5 Shigeki Maruyama 16.40 6 Ryan Palmer 17.65 7 Kirk Triplett 20.60 8 John Senden 21.20 9 Bo Van Pelt 21.25 10 Thomas Levet 29.45 11 Joe Durant 29.80 12 Tommy Armour III 31.65 13 Cameron Beckman 33.60 14 Michael Allen 37.00 15 Kent Jones 38.20

I am going to go with the top 4 players in the CLi list. Then I am going to drop down to the 8th position to pick Senden. I can't skip over him two weeks in a row, especially after he placed well last week in the Turning Stone Resort Championship (3rd).

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Viking Classic are:

Rank Player CLi 1 Carl Pettersson 5.80 2 Charlie Wi 6.85 3 Heath Slocum 10.60 4 Brett Wetterich 12.60 5 John Senden 21.20

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

• 1 Boo Weekley
• 2 Steve Elkington
• 4 Heath Slocum
• 3 Chad Campbell
• 5 Fred Funk

This week we have 1 player in common: Slocum.
