Tour Outsider: Legends Reno-Tahoe Open

This week the US PGA Tour is going in two different directions. This post is dedicated to the tournament in Reno: Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. For the other tournament that is being played this week, see the picks for the Bridgestone Invitational.

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 S Tim Herron 4.45
2 S Joe Ogilvie 6.40
3 S Bob Estes 8.85
4 S John Merrick 10.30
5 S Scott McCarron 11.35
6 S Patrick Sheehan 12.10
7 S Michael Allen 12.20
8 S Brian Davis 13.65
9 S Charles Warren 13.95
10 S Jeffrey Overton 17.75
11 S Alexander Cejka 18.00
12 S Kevin Na 18.60
13 S Chris Riley 18.75
14 S Nicholas Thompson 19.15
15 S Carlos Franco 21.35

I will go with the top 3 in the CLi rankings. Then I will skip over Merrick and pick McCarron. McCarron plays well near his home town: Reno, NV. Then for my 5th pick I will go all the way down the 12th player in the rankings: Kevin Na.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Legend Reno-Tahoe Open are:

Rank Player CLi
1 S Tim Herron 4.45
2 S Joe Ogilvie 6.40
3 S Bob Estes 8.85
4 S Scott McCarron 11.35
5 S Kevin Na 18.60

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

We have no players in common in this tournament.

  1. Most of my research for the week went towards the Bridgestone, but, I'll throw out 5 for the Reno event.

    Nick Watney
    Ben Crane
    Charley Hoffman
    Tim Herron
    John Rollins

    And no, Michelle won't make the cut lol.

    Good luck!

  2. Nope, Michelle won't make the cut. But she will draw additional people to buy tickets on Thursday and Friday which would not have normally bought tickets. So that will help the event's revenue.

  3. There is no denying that, she'll definitely sell more tickets. She was starting to turn it around a little bit, so, I would have liked to see her try and qualify for the women's British instead playing in Reno.

    Still hoping that one day she'll live up to her potential...a lot of people forget she's still only 18.
