Tour Outsider: Ginn sur Mer Classic at Tesoro

The US PGA Tour heads back to the east coast for the Ginn sur Mer Classic at Tesoro.

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 1.50
2 Tim Clark 4.00
3 Jesper Parnevik 4.00
4 Heath Slocum 5.25
5 Robert Allenby 8.25
6 Johnson Wagner 8.25
7 Lucas Glover 9.00
8 Sean O'Hair 9.75
9 Mathias Gronberg 10.25
10 Cameron Beckman 10.50
11 Carl Pettersson 10.50
12 Steve Flesch 11.25
13 Chris Stroud 12.00
14 Kent Jones 12.75
15 Pat Perez 12.75

I am going to stick with the top 4 in the CLi: Leonard, Clark, Parnevik (he is playing at home this week as he lives in nearby Jupiter, Florida), and Slocum.

Then will skip over Allenby and Wagner to get to Glover. Glover hasn't played in the past 4 weeks except in the President's Cup. That could be a positive or a negative. I will take it as a positive. He is rested and the President's Cup experience should get him going this week before he winds down for the season. He also likes playing in Florida, which should help his chances this week.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Ginn sur Mer Classic:

Rank Player CLi
1 Justin Leonard 1.50
2 Tim Clark 4.00
3 Jesper Parnevik 4.00
4 Heath Slocum 5.25
5 Lucas Glover 9.00

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

This week we have one player in common: Clark.

  2. Thanks for the info. Yes, you are correct he withdrew yesterday. Wish he wouldn't have as I thought he would play well at this tournament.

    However, I can't change my picks as Dave Shedloski can't change his picks. If I could remove Tim Clark and then add another, I would add Mathias Gronberg.
