Tour Outsider: Bob Hope Chrysler Classic

The US PGA Tour moves to the mainland for this first time this year to play the Bob Hope Chrysler 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 Mike Weir 5.20 2 Justin Leonard 6.15 3 Scott Verplank 7.55 4 Chad Campbell 8.65 5 Mark Calcavecchia 18.35 6 Troy Matteson 18.55 7 Pat Perez 21.85 8 Heath Slocum 22.05 9 Jesper Parnevik 25.55 10 Lucas Glover 27.05 11 Stewart Cink 29.75 12 Tim Herron 30.95 13 Billy Mayfair 31.10 14 Charles Warren 31.60 15 Rod Pampling 32.25

The first 4 players look good with their CLi figures below 10. After the 4th player in the list the CLi figures jump up to 18.35. So, for the 5th player, I am going to look down the list and pick Pat Perez. He played well towards the end of last season and placed 4th last week in the Sony Open. Hopefully he won't withdraw because of some injury.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic:

Rank Player CLi 1 Mike Weir 5.20 2 Justin Leonard 6.15 3 Scott Verplank 7.55 4 Chad Campbell 8.65 5 Pat Perez 21.85

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

• 1 Mike Weir
• 2 Scott Verplank
• 3 Chad Campbell
• 4 Jesper Parnevik
• 5 David Duval

This week we have three players in common: Weir, Verplank and Campbell.
