Tour Outsider: Fry's Electronics Open

The US PGA Tour heads to Phoenix for the second time this year for the Fry's Electronics Open.

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 Justin Leonard 2.00 2 John Mallinger 5.25 3 Steve Flesch 5.75 4 George McNeill 5.75 5 Bo Van Pelt 6.25 6 Mathias Gronberg 8.50 7 Robert Garrigus 9.50 8 Charley Hoffman 9.50 9 Bill Haas 10.25 10 J.J. Henry 12.00 11 Cameron Beckman 12.50 12 Dean Wilson 13.75 13 Mathew Goggin 19.00 14 Robert Allenby 19.25 15 Mark Calcavecchia 21.25

I am going to go with Leonard, as plays well in the desert and is coming off a win in the Valero Texas Open two weeks ago.

Will pass on Mallinger even though he has a low CLi (5.25). I just don't feel comfortable in picking him for some reason.

Then will pick Flesch as I think he still has some good golf in him this season.

Even though McNeill won last week, and could easily play well this week, will pass on him. The main reason is that I think it will be hard for him to focus this week after having won for the first time in Vegas last week. However, if he did win here, it would be a Fry's double, which would be rather cool.

Then will pick Van Pelt and Gronberg and pass on Garrigus to get to Hoffman. Hoffman was thought to be a good pick last week in Vegas, however, he missed the cut by a stroke. Let's see if he can turn it around this week in Phoenix.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Fry's Electronics Open:

Rank Player CLi 1 Justin Leonard 2.00 2 Steve Flesch 5.75 3 Bo Van Pelt 6.25 4 Mathias Gronberg 8.50 5 Charley Hoffman 9.50

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

• 1 Phil Mickelson
• 2 Aaron Baddeley
• 4 Bob May
• 3 Ben Curtis
• 5 David Duval

This week we have no players in common.
