This week the USA PGA Tour moves to California to the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines

Rank Player CLi 1 S Charles Howell III 11.95 2 S Rory Sabbatini 12.25 3 S Davis Love III 14.05 4 S Kevin Sutherland 14.35 5 S Troy Matteson 16.20 6 S John Senden 17.35 7 S Steve Marino 18.70 8 S Charley Hoffman 19.80 9 S Brandt Jobe 19.90 10 S Arron Oberholser 20.00 11 S Luke Donald 21.95 12 S Ryuji Imada 23.15 13 S Nathan Green 24.55 14 S Bill Haas 24.70 15 S Charlie Wi 25.25

Last week was not a good week for my picks. It was a good week for the CLi however. 3 of the top five players in the CLi for the FBR Open placed in the top 6, with Perry winning the tournament. That would probably mean I should listen more to the CLi rankings. However, half of the players in the top CLi 15 missed the cut....hmmmm. That is perplexing. To top that off, none of the players in the top CLi 15 this week for the Buick Invitational have CLi figures below 10. That usually means that this week is open to more players playing well and thus is hard to predict who has the best chance to win. So my picks are "careful" this week.

I am going to go with the top 2 players in the CLi (Howell and Sabbatini), pass on Love, pick the next two players (Sutherland and Matteson), and then jump down to the 11th spot to pick Donald.

Below are my 5 picks for the Buick Invitational:

Rank Player CLi 1 S Charles Howell III 11.95 2 S Rory Sabbatini 12.25 3 S Kevin Sutherland 14.35 4 S Troy Matteson 16.20 5 S Luke Donald 21.95
