Tour Outsider: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am

The US PGA Tour is in California this week to play the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am.

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 Phil Mickelson 5.10 2 Mike Weir 8.15 3 J.B. Holmes 8.35 4 Daniel Chopra 11.60 5 Jim Furyk 12.15 6 Kevin Sutherland 14.05 7 Arron Oberholser 20.60 8 Padraig Harrington 22.70 9 Brandt Snedeker 25.75 10 Vijay Singh 26.50 11 Ryan Moore 27.45 12 Doug Labelle II 28.70 13 Fredrik Jacobson 29.80 14 Jonathan Byrd 29.90 15 Robert Gamez 29.90

This week I am going to go with the top 3 players in the CLi list, as they have a CLi figure below 10. Then I am going to skip Chopra and pick Furyk and Sutherland to round out my five players.

I am skipping over Chopra because he is tired, as he has played in 4 tournaments in the past 5 weeks. He played 3 good rounds at the FBR Open last week before ballooning to a 77 in the final round. However, Chopra has played well at the AT&T in the past, so it is hard to pass over him. In the end, I am thinking his energy level will wan a little as the AT&T is a tournament with long rounds as the pros are paired with amateurs.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am:

Rank Player CLi 1 Phil Mickelson 5.10 2 Mike Weir 8.15 3 J.B. Holmes 8.35 4 Jim Furyk 12.15 5 Kevin Sutherland 14.05

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

• 1 Jim Furyk
• 2 Phil Mickelson
• 3 Pat Perez
• 4 Steve Flesch
• 5 Bubba Watson

This week we have two players in common: Mickelson and Furyk.

It is interesting that Shedloski picked Flesch and Watson when both of those players are not even in the field at this time. Maybe he knows something that others don't....being that he is an "insider".
