Tour Outsider: RBC Canadian Open

This week the US PGA Tour heads north across the border to Canada to play the RBC Canadian Open

[ I wish I was heading north of the border to play in a golf tournament. Rather, my family and I are still living out of a moving truck at the moment. It has been over a week that we have been in the process of moving across country from Colorado to Kentucky. Hopefully we will be settled into a house in Louisville (KY), and out of the moving truck, come the end of the weekend. ]

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 Earnings Est. Before 1 S Tom Pernice Jr 9.15 $115,000 2 S Bob Tway 9.65 $115,000 3 S Bo Van Pelt 11.05 $115,000 4 S Bubba Watson 12.90 $115,000 5 S Jim Furyk 13.95 $115,000 6 S Eric Axley 19.25 $75,000 7 S Brian Davis 19.50 $75,000 8 S Charlie Wi 22.40 $23,666 9 S Steve Marino 22.70 $23,666 10 S Cliff Kresge 22.80 $23,666 11 S Patrick Sheehan 23.80 $23,666 12 S Bill Haas 24.70 $23,666 13 S Robert Garrigus 27.95 $23,666 14 S Dean Wilson 29.55 $23,666 15 S Alexander Cejka 29.80 $23,666

After last week's tough showing (3 of my picks missed the cut at the British Open), I am going to let the CLi rankings do the talking. So I am going to go with the top five players in the CLi rankings this week.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the RBC Canadian Open are:
